I am currently in the midst of a job hunt, and therefore it is likely that prospective employers will google my name to learn a little bit about me. I would like to address this note to those visitors in particular.

You might notice that there are very few mentions of work here (although a fair bit about school). I made a rule for myself when I started writing a web journal that I would studiously avoid talking about work. I made this rule for both personal and professional reasons; I want to keep work out of my personal life and hobbies, and my employers probably don’t need my hobbies clogging up their search engine results.

You might also notice that I speak out pretty strongly with political opinions here. Of course, I have strong opinions and have no problem expressing them in this format. However, I want to be clear that in my working life my political persuasions are not a factor. I trust that they will not be a factor in your consideration of me as a candidate for whatever position I have applied for.

These things being said, feel free to explore. Hopefully you will find out a little more about my personality than can be expressed in a résumé and application package. Also, for more recent posts I recommend you visit my newer site at samuelrutledge.com as I haven’t updated this site in quite a long time.
