My New Job – Project Manager – Web Design Tips Book
Posted on August 30, 2008
Filed Under Inspiration, News
Yup, just like the title says. I’ve managed to find a new line of work now doing project management for a web design company. I’m not sure how I’ll do there as the experience will be new to me, but it seems like I will finally be able to get a away from working 60 hours a week as a sales representative (my former job). So while I haven’t become super famous on the web from blogging. The skills I’ve learned to promote the blog which includes some SEO, Social Networking, Domains, Debugging etc played a pretty big part in acquiring the skills for a position in project management. I’m now familiar most of the terminology used in the web design field so being able to communicate the needs of a webmaster fits right in.
There’s some things all new employees get to learn at their new jobs, and that goes for me as well. They gave me a few books to read to brush up, and pointed out things that the firm I’m working at likes to point out to their potential customers. One of the books I’m reading I think is a very good read, and I think that other bloggers would be interested in it as well. Even though you might not be designing websites, you still usually design or maintain your own blog’s appearances.
The book is called Dont Make Me Think
I recommend this book to anyone who is new to blogging, and trying to set up their own site. It will make you understand a little more about link placements, and why cool widgets that you like, are not always very welcome to the visitors coming to your page.
I would also recommend this to any experienced web designer as it will brush up on things, as well as give you a new outlook on web site design.
Anyways that is all for now, and hopefully with me working 33% LESS hours a week now at the same pay rate. I can afford to spend more time doing what I like to do. Playing Video Games, and Making Money Online.

Web design is something that is easy to learn but tough to master. The principles itself are easy but when it comes to making a site that not only looks good but is also functional can present some difficulties to even the most advanced web designer.
It is really nice when you found a company that will also support you to learn more and improve your knowledge. As a project manager it is really necessary that you have enough knowledge to handle the project. I’m sure you’ll do that right. I would also like to thank you for sharing a great book. I will look on it some time.
