so this is the year that I said I would give myself to either bring freelancing to a full or part time gig. As things are going, I could realistically see it becoming a “full” part-time job by years end, and then working somewhere to help fill the gaps.
There are definitely a few steps that I need to take to even make the part time option.
1. evaluate local market
2. market myself
3. evaluate service offerings
4. determine areas of recurring revenue
5. take action
I hope to expand on these over the next few months and share a bit of how I come to whatever conclusion I end up at.

So I have an interview next week that I am prepping for and though I would drop a couple quick notes of the steps I go through.
1. check LinkedIN to see who I know there, or who knows someone there. Also look to see if there is a company page and who might have worked there in the past.
2. check my social networks (facebook, twitter, etc) to see who might have talked about it recently.
3. reach out for information about the company, and possibly people you might be talking to.
4. research any recent company news, press releases, etc
5. if possible, find out what technology they use in house and any recent developments they may have released.
