I recently received a promotion in the day job. I am now a senior application developer. Upon getting this promotion, one of the things I did was to update LinkedIn, and the tagline there. Before, it read: “Science Fiction Writer and Application Developer” now it reads: “Science Fiction Writer and Senior Application Developer”.
But I got to day-dreaming about career progression and tried to imagine the progression of the LinkedIn tagline. Without any specific time-frame associated with the changes, here is how that tagline evolved in my day dreams:
- Application developer
- Science fiction writer and application developer
- Science fiction writer and senior application developer
- Award-winning science fiction writer and senior application developer
- New York Times bestselling science fiction writer and senior application developer
And then, finally, just:
- New York Times bestselling science fiction writer
Like the song asks, “I can dream, can’t I?”
You forgot the next rung: Author 🙂
I know I’m like a nagging wife.
Author? Author? Pshaw! I’m a science fiction writer. Author forsooth! 😉
