It's been a busy month. If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen that I was offered and accepted a permanent position at the company where I'm currently working as a consultant. Though I received word of this a couple weeks ago, I will still be a contract employee for one more week, and after that I will be a permanent employee of the company.
This is the first permanent position I've held since I graduated from college seven years ago, so it's a new experience for me. As such, I expect the transition will provide some good blog material, since I plan to keep this blog despite no longer being one of the people on which it focuses. When you've done something for seven years, you get a lot of experiences and subjects to talk about, and I'm not done talking about it yet.

1/1/2009
It's the first day of a new year, which seemed like the perfect time to launch a brand new blog on a subject I've been wanting to blog about for a long time.
Welcome, then, to Hired Minds. As the subtitle notes, the blog is about consultants, contractors, temps, and any other sort of company "hired gun", or outside help/expert brought in to advise or work on a project. It's a pretty broad subject, since the people that do these things perform a very wide variety of roles, especially these days. However, I wanted to create a blog about it since, despite the massive range of blogs out there for all kinds of jobs, companies, and industries, I couldn't find much for the world of modern hired office help. Considering the important role we play in the contemporary workforce, that seemed like a gap needing to be filled. Thus, Hired Minds.
The next few posts will discuss what I hope to achieve with this blog, why I picked the name, who I am, and all that good stuff. For now, though, I'm celebrating the beginning of a new year, and hope it's a good one for you too.
