Keep up the enthusiasm

I saw the job request ad below and I remembered that I had a rough week trying to prepare my most important pitch so far. It was for the job interview at MPI and I had to do a market analysis on a segment and then based on it to propose a new business in this segment and develop the business plan, forecasts, competition study, marketing plan, etc. Initially I thought that this task was to hard for me/my experience … Continue reading

Web Club #1

[YahooLilu - Bobby Voicu (Yahoo! Romania Community Manager) & Sergiu Biris (www.trilulilu.ro Founder)] Organized by Cristian Manafu/Evensys and proudly sponsored by Microsoft, first edition of Web Club took place last Thursday in Club Colocvio and gathered more than 90% of the online industry from Romania.

BlackBerry 8800, GPS and Google Maps

I am very happy with my BlackBerry 8800 and I have to tell you that this device is amazing – it hasfrig native support for GTalk and Yahoo Messenger, automatic configuration for my gmail and webmyc email accounts (webmyc has Google Aps) and probably soon, support for my corporate email account. … Continue reading

Career move, MPI, peopleware

After spending more than 3 years (since Sept 04) in Oracle, acting as Senior Web Specialist in the EMEA OPN Web Admin Team and dealing with the administration of Oracle PartnerNetwork portal & eMarketing campaigns, more and more signs that my journey with Oracle was reaching it’s end, started to show. Don’t want to say something that I would regret later on, but the possibilities to develop my career further in Oracle where extremely limited and the worse part is … Continue reading
