Hi 👋

I've been working on my résumé lately. I attended a webinar offered by a career advisor firm that I connected with, and I learned a little about how job seeking has changed since I last did it. Some highlights:

• Cover letters are rarely expected now (cool!)
• Every résumé you send out needs to be customized (less cool!)
• LinkedIn is the center of the jobseeker's universe

A custom résumé for each job application?! Mostly this involves providing a professional summary statement at the top and filling the whole thing with keywords lifted directly from each respective job description.

This is a housekeeping post. I updated the host plumbing on zeigert.com to the new Deno Deploy since they sent out the ominous "the old Deno Deploy will be deleted soon" email.

I understand that the new deploy architecture is quite different, but offering no automatic path from the Classic to the New is a bold move, even for a contemporary web project hosting platform.

Anyway, if you notice any trouble around here, let me know.

Michael Shannon singing at Revolution Hall in Portland, Ore.

Nobody has the exact combination of vocal cords, sinus cavity and southern drawl that Michael Stipe has but it’s clear than Michael Shannon did his homework. And maybe the guitars weren't quite as jangly as the Peter Buck's, but Jason Narducy nearly fooled me.

People see cover bands for lots of reasons. Often, you end up at a bar where you didn't know there would be a band that night, and they're playing top 40 hits from a quarter century ago. Other times, the bass player works with your husband, so you finally agree to come by for a show. Very rarely, you seek them out.
