How to prepare my CV before january ends
It took me
4 months
It made me

How I did it: I couldn't find my old CV. I started from scratch using the generic CV we use at the office to submit as part of project documentation.Then I did some research, the new CV should reflect what I'm looking on a prospect employers, so I made more emphasis on my role in every main project I took part. Also put a section with all the technical background. Read how I did it…

How to record all the books i read
It took me
3 months
It made me

How I did it: There's a website called weRead, it has a facebook application (called back then iread). It really makes you easy to look for the books you have read and mark them as readed, reading, wanting to read, won't read, also allows you to chuck books to your friends, leave comments, tags and ratings.Downside, there's no way to get that data back to you for other purpouses. Read how I did it…
