A Control Freak at the Conference
summary
Argues that being a control freak becomes a tactic: applies as a speaker and runs workshops to create predictable opportunities, runs a meetup.com group after relocating, teaches a three‑day scrum master course with no prior job, and runs a 60 people workshop that generates follow‑ups. Claims control trades off public exposure for new doors — months after organizing events a hiring contact offers a role. Practical takeaway: build your own events and workshops to convert anxiety into concrete job leads.
