No 59 - A Decade's Worth of Unpaid Work
Its that time of year, time for reflection.
I recently read a Newsletter by
and about his last year and it was impressive! It inspired me to reflect on what I have written in the last year, and then I thought, to even come close to his productivity I would probably have to compare my last decade to his last year.I also, applied for a role recently that required a CV. Having to update the CV was a massive faf because I hadn’t looked at it in years! My training pathway just hasn’t required any additional work or a CV. My CV has been as useful as a chocolate teapot.
I realised that so much of the work that I had written over the last decade, I had either forgotten about, or lost or not referenced properly. So, having a list in one place might be useful!
There are roughly 180-ish pieces of work listed below, including all of my papers, posters, publications and blogs posts. Some of them I am quite proud of, and will probably list or re-hash on this newsletter at a later date.
Without further ado, here is my list of a decade’s worth of extra-curricular work, that no one paid me for, no one really cares about and has been of no use in climbing the career ladder. But I enjoyed writing it anyway…
