Interviewing Susan

Hey myJambi Readers!

Yes, yes! Slush season in NYC has actually turned into winter over the past weeks and we couldn't be more grateful. The holiday spirit is in the air, the trains are half empty and the office seems a little lonely. It almost makes us want to savor this pace of life in New York City…almost. We are headed off on a bit of vacation and you probably are too so kick back and check out our latest interview with myJambi user Susan.

So tell us, how did you find out about myJambi?

Through exploring the "inter-webs" on downtime from schoolwork. It may have been been through an article I read online (possibly TechCrunch) that mentioned it.



What inspired you to join?


The concept behind myjambi was so intriguing, how conveniently it was set up (the aesthetic appeal of the user interface was also a definite plus). It was mostly out of curiosity and wanting to play an active role in building a professional network and gaining experience. The whole package was just so neat! :)


Tell us a bit about yourself.


I'm working on a 3D animation/VFX degree in San Francisco. I like that it merges technology with traditional art. I also enjoy piano. Moved here from Alaska a few years ago (big change) where I grew up. Miss the snow, but not enough to live with it 6 months out of the year, lol. It's certainly a more pleasant experience not worrying about falling on sidewalks layered with ice. Other random information: I've had moose jump in the backyard and eat my plants; currently live in a seedy apartment in the Tenderloin surrounded by the "living out of a cardboard box" community (along with other eccentric personalities). It makes for interesting dinner conversation, lol.


I noticed you currently a mixed bag of different services. Why did you chose these services?


I wanted to broaden the spectrum of skills offered. I didn't want to have limitations because of the single-track emphasis of my major. I have a variety of hobbies, and wanted to pursue those interests outside of school. I also wanted to gain as much professional experience as possible before going out into the working world.


Have or would you hire others on myJambi?

It was a great experience working with fellow myJambi . Based on such a personable and friendly environment the myJambi community is, I would definitely hire a provider from the site!


What other sites besides myJambi are you frequenting these days?


Let's see- Craigslist, Lifehacker, thesixtyone, and SF0 are a few.


What do you think of the myJambi mascot?


It's quite whimsical :)


Anything else you want to include or let us know about?


Please don't hesitate to check out my website if you have the time(a W.I.P.) susatron.com

P.S.- We don't all have Palin's accent (it's just her) :)
