More to come… more to come!

http://mystartrax.com/startrax-blog/

]]> http://tamireiss.com/tami/two-apps-made-it-in/feed/ 1 Connections Deliver! I have a new J.O.B. ! http://tamireiss.com/tami/connections-deliver-i-have-a-new-job/ http://tamireiss.com/tami/connections-deliver-i-have-a-new-job/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:33:20 +0000 ta322 http://tamireiss.com/tami/?p=457 Six months ago, shortly after I left a bad employment situation, I contacted my friend Andrew Warner to help me find “my new home”. He connected me with many entrepreneurs and people throughout the Los Angeles tech scene. One of the first lunches I went on through an Andrew connection was with Eric Stephens who then was at Mahalo and is now at Etsy. Eric encouraged me to start a blog about all the cool companies and people I would be exposed to which is how Tami’s Network was created. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Eric for doing so, as blogging (even if you update as infrequently as I have) has been truly fun. My blog has been read by some really well known CEOs and CTOs as part of my interview process for part time work over the past few months. It was an opportunity to show people that although I was fresh, I had some idea of what was going on.

Now I will tell the story of how connections and networking got me my new position as the Associate Project Manager on the Technical Consulting team at Cornerstone on Demand (a Talent Management Software as a Service company in Santa Monica). I will be referencing points I made in other posts to show how no individual networking technique created this opportunity, but a combination of many (yes I know there are a lot of hyperlinks, but it’s to make a point).

I was called two weeks ago an acquaintance of mine who is the Assistant Director of HR at the company called me about the position. She said to me the CEO remembered working with me on a small project a few years back and that she remembered when I had volunteered to run her sister’s kitchen for a charity event. They both were impressed with my organizational skills, my calm in a fast paced stressful environment, and ability to talk to people at many levels. These are skills they felt would be helpful with their needs and because the CEO had seen me recently he wanted to check in to see if I was available to apply. I spent a week interviewing for the position, and know it would not have been mine had I not been sure to send thank you emails every step along the way.

Also, I am quite sure that I would not have been as strong of a candidate without spending the last six months learning as much as I could about technology per recommendations from Mark Geller (of Klickfu) among others. With this encouragement I have invested the last three months working under the dream team of Mike Jones, Mike Macadaan, and Sean Percival at Tsavo Media. I have learned so much in such a short time because they and the rest of the Tsavo team are so bright and were always happy to spend an extra minute to explain all aspects of our products and sites to me. Thank you.

Now for the new job, what does an Associate Project Manager on the Technical Consulting team at Cornerstone on Demand do? And how does this fit into my career experience and goals? At CoD I will be facilitating conversations between our clients and our programmers during the sale and implementation of the product. I will help understand the needs of the customers and various users and then work with our technical team to create tailor made talent management solutions in a very timely manner.  The company provides a Software as a Service, meaning everything is web-based (the future for everything technological), and is recognized as a leader in the field of human capital management. I will be drawing on my experiences both at Farmers in product development and my years in event planning to help me prioritize, juggle, and come up with the best solutions for every problem I am presented. Cornerstone has an amazing track record with their clients (98% retention) and staff (95% retention) so I should be there for the foreseeable future. There’s tons of room for growth and they have me on a great career trajectory within the company already. I am really excited to start this new chapter.

Now for some other questions:

Will I be moving back to Santa Monica? As great as being walking/biking distance to work would be, I’m going to hold off  at least until my lease is done at Casa de Flores and save up some money so that when I move I can outfit my new apartment/home with some pretty cool stuff.

Will I continue to blog? Of course! But only with big updates, I have twitter for the little stuff. I’ve been toying with the idea of changing the blog into a challenge to see if there are 6 degrees of separation from Tami. Sort of a give me a person’s name and if I can’t figure out how we’re connected within 6 degrees I’ll give you a $100. But I think I’m going to hold off because I’m going to be a little busy.

What about the Iphone apps? They are doing great, please check out the website over the next few weeks. After some beta testing we realized some problems needed to be addressed and are working on them right now. Within the next two weeks we will be submitting them to Apple. Jamie Diamond will be helping me develop a PR pitch and will promote them with me during the initial launch. I have decided to blog about the experience of developing the apps and will be having a daily or weekly update on the sales and profitability of the 11 apps. No one seems to have done this, and everyone wants to know, so I’ve decided to tell them. One of them will be free (ObamaTrax) but ad supported, so we will get to test how price impacts number of installations and whether through ads the app will still deliver revenue. The other app that I hope will gain a large amount of popularity is IphoneTrax, which will be a blogregator for Iphone related business and technology news; it’s the app that every Iphone user needs. The other 9 apps are also blogregators but focus on celebrities such as Tween Stars and Pop Stars. I’m hoping to make back my investment with them and make some extra money to potentially develop some more of them for sports teams and dynamic ones that will allow people to choose what they want to blogregate. It would also be nice to be able to take some of the profits and purchase a home in the LA area (but that’s more of a dream situation).

That’s all for now.

It’s great to make new connections, contacts, and friends, but it’s really important never to forget about the person you’re stuck with for the rest of your life… YOU!

Thinks I’ve been doing to connect with myself, in no particular order of importance or level of help connecting to me.

1) Waking up for 4am yoga… yeah crazy I know… my roommate heard about it and we wen. We were two of four people crazy enough to be there. I slept through most of it, but hey I tried something new.

2) Walking around my neighborhood to Momo Sushi. It’s a 3 mile loop and I got to watch Culver City High School beat Beverly in baseball while eating.

3) Making dinner for a friend. Sometimes a nice dinner at home with whatever I an find in the pantry/fridge and great conversation is the best way to remind yourself where you come from and who you are.

4) Watching old movies. I have a thing that I like to see the classics. In college I took an American Cinema course to be forced to watch films like Singing in the Rain, Girl with a Yellow Ribbon, and the Godfather. It was great! In the past few weeks I’ve watched All the Presidents Men, Boondock Saints, The Emperor’s Club, and Full Metal Jacket… this week hopefully I’m going to watch Taxi Driver.

5) I returned to Rockclimbing. This was an activity I took up the last time I was unemployed and was looking for something that would provide positive reinforcement in the absence of a man or a boss. This weekend some friends and I went climbing in Point Dume on the beach in Malibu. There was a pod of dolphins and humpback whales that cam by just a few hundred feet off shore. It was amazing!

6) Free Yoga class at Lulu Lemon. The instructor was amazing, and during the class I came up with the name for one of the sections of the Iphone Apps (”Xtras”) and a quality tagline “Stalk and Talk with StarTrax”. Mental clarity often comes when you aren’t trying to connect with anyone but yourself.

7) Reading my favorite magazine… The Week. Much like other things I like, it pulls together pieces of columns from top news sources to provide less biased reporting on the top stories from the previous week. If you’ve never read a copy, I’ll give you one. It might be the best news in print. I haven’t gotten the chance to pick up a book to read, but maybe sometime soon.

8) Catching up on my DVR/Tivo. I have a guilty pleasure… it’s called Brothers and Sisters on ABC. Until I got a DVR I used to watch it on Abc.com, but I’ve always watched 2-3 episodes at a time. I’m not very good with waiting for cliffhangers to be completed, so catching up with a few episodes at once works out nicely.

9) Going to NYC. I maybe the only person who goes to New York and relaxes, but the GEL 2009 conference was a great excuse to visit my two best friends and sisters who live there, and not do very much else. I think I had 80 emails on my blackberry that collected while I was there, but I got to them eventually and no one seemed to be too mad to wait a day or two. In NYC just sitting on buses and subways for long periods of time can be a very meditative experience.

10) Walking my old dog. When I lived in Santa Monica, land of the lucky people, my roommate had a wonderful golden retreiver named Bella. She’s the best dog ever… chill and friendly… and super soft to pet. When I was forced to move out (my roommate’s fiance was moving in), it was agreed that I would get “visitation rights” with Bella. Now that I’m in Santa Monica practically every day to work at Tsavo, I get to go over and have Bella accompany me on a long walk along the ocean at least once a week. Few things are as relaxing an calming as walking along the ocean, listening to the Beatles, and having a friendly companion like Bella.

11) Sleep. I’ve been sleeping a lot more. It turns out that every day is better if you’ve gotten some sleep the night before. Who would have thunk it? There was a point in January/February where I was sleeping 4-5 hours a night and working my tail off. This did not make me happy and didn’t make me that fun to be around, so I’ve been sleeping more. It means I can’t be at as many events, or be there for after parties, but I feel better, and as mentioned in the beginning, it’s all about ME for this post.

Be VISIBLE!!!

Don't make people SEARCH for you! Be VISIBLE!!!

A few months back I touted the importance of staying visible when trying to accomplish something. Today, I am returning to this concept because it has delivered results. This week I will be starting three different part time positions that I would have never had the opportunity to have if I had not been present in places where connectors hang out.

First, I will be assisting with the coordination of an online show for the next two weeks. How did this happen: 1) I was at a tech networking event and we were introduced and then discussed how I might be able to help him (WIIFY), 2) I followed up the next day by emailing etc. which was well received, 3) Around a week later I sent a request for an update, at which point I was put in contact with the other founders and meetings were setup, 4) Tomorrow I will be attending a walk through.

Second, I will helping with the marketing push for some blogs through the social media blog rating sites. How did this happen: 1) My roommate is one of the writers for one of the blogs of this company and she knows I’ve been looking for marketing work (yes being visible to her is easier, but still relevant), 2) Her boss sent out some traffic stats and a request for recommendations for new marketing coordinators she forwarded my resume in, and I had a meeting with the content managers, 3) After the all important “Nice to meet you email” I was offered a part time (which they claim could lead to full-time after the ever present dot com re-org), 4) I now have a web pseudonym “FunnyWebGoddess” that will be “discovering and sharing all the funny parts of the web”.

Last, but certainly not least, starting Wednesday, I will be the marketing intern at a firm that specializes in web analytics and seo and learning how to tailor fit content to the market. How did this happen: 1) I was introduced to a young entrepreneur who I’ve been lucky enough to see and bond with at multiple tech events, we keep in touch through gchat, twitter, etc., 2) At an event he mentioned to me that I should apply for this internship that he couldn’t do because of a bad commute and personally introduced me (by email) to the CEO who had wanted him to join the team, 3) I responded to the CEO with my interest and cc’ed a trusted employee who I was connected with, 4) Interview, thank you email a few days later, and then a request for update email on the day that the CEO was supposed to decide who he has taking on. 5) 6:30pm on Friday email from CEO inviting me to join the team if I was still interested. 6) After a few emails about logistics, this Wednesday I’ll be spending my first 2.5 hours learning the ropes or Google analytics.

You maybe saying to yourself, why is she so excited about three part time positions that probably don’t pay very much? I would simply have to respond, that I will be learning new marketable skills from leaders in the industry, and staying VISIBLE to them, their connections, and the rest of the tech world while actually getting some cash in my pocket.

I have been incredibly fortunate to meet leaders in the tech industry and wanted to list them here to show that people are actually pretty nice and that if you are friendly enough they are generally happy to talk with you. Sometimes, it’s just a phone call, sometimes it’s lunch, every so often is an interview, but no matter what every minute of their time is worth a whole lot.

It helps if you are associated with connectors. Most people on this list I have been introduced to by Andrew Warner or Daniel Paul, I definitely owe them this shout out.

Per some recommendations from some of the individuals below, I’ve taught myself a little bit of HTML. This list was created using what I learned, and was typed completely in the HTML not visual editor on Wordpress. It took longer but I think it was worth it for the adventure.

List of high level people who were nice enough to give me some time:

  1. Josh Spector – Director of Content at Comedy.com
  2. Mike Jones – CEO of Tsavo Media (among many other accomplishments)
  3. Sean Percival – Director of Content at Tsavo Media (and other sites including LALAWAG)
  4. Drew Baldwin – Co-Founder of Tubefilter
  5. Marc Hustvedt – Co-Founder of Tubefilter
  6. Mark Jeffrey – CTO of Mahalo
  7. Tyler Crowley – Director of Business Development, Marketing, and Strategy of Mahalo
  8. Eric Stephens – Director of Product and User Experience at Mahalo
  9. Mark Geller – Product Manager of Photos at Google
  10. Jun Loayza – Co-Founder of Viraology
  11. Yu-kai Chou – Co-Founder of Viraology
  12. Neil Patel – SEO Expert and Founder of QuickSprout
  13. Don Mosites – Founder of Streamy
  14. KW Low – Director of Business Development and Strategy at AT&T Interactive (Yellowpages)
