  1. The Workshop
  2. My initial appeal for Alt-Ac advice and for cover letters.
  3. The tweeted appeal for attention / help.

    And (if I say so myself) I think you can't do better for #altacadvice than to read #Alt-Academy: http://is.gd/ncuKi3 #alt-ac

    Tell a (true) story about how you got to #alt-ac. Tout your accomplishments. Don't self-deprecate. #altacadvice

    More #altacadvice like "don't self-deprecate": You didn't get where you got by luck. You did the hard work to make that luck possible.

    #altacadvice _Understand the ad_; come to terms w/ fact yr formal ac products matter little; focus on skills & their relevance to position.
