What’s Next For Virtual Crasis?
Hi All! It’s been a bit since my last blog, I hope this finds you all doing well! Recently my life has been pretty crazy and has been changing alot. For a moment I was in limbo wondering where things were heading and what God had in store for me, but he has opened a new path before me and I’m going to follow his lead. I was offered/accepted a position at Lippert Components as their Junior Web Developer / Webmaster. I begin this journey next week and I have high hopes for the future with them. I had been previously working on a freelance basis with them to help them knock out some side projects they’ve been working on. Part of the time in-house and part of the time remote from my home office. I worked mainly with their community service initiatives. The process was great and everyone there so far has been extremely kind and I’m excited to begin working as a part of the development team! That all said, what is next for Virtual Crasis, and my freelance business? Well I’m not 100% sure, but I know with a full time position I am going to be greatly strapped for any time to work on side projects. I may take on some side projects here and there, but only ones that I’m able to work on at my pace. I plan on working on some non-profit projects as well for my church and some of my close friends which I’m pretty excited about. Learning to balance my job and my personal time has always been a juggling act, but with the new financial security I’ll be gaining, will take a lot of stress from my shoulders. Will I ever freelance full-time again? Maybe somewhere down the road, but not anytime in the near future. I believe this position will greatly hone my skills overall and allow me to progress more so than my freelancing experience and my education to this point, and to become an even more lethal designer and developer. What about the blog and social media? I plan on continuing the blog and sharing my knowledge of technical skills and life lessons, in fact I hope this new stability allows me to share more than I previously was able. It will be less about promoting my business and more about promoting best practices, educating and providing insights. So that’s all for now, thanks so much for following and supporting me in my endeavors I will do my best to update everyone with future milestones as well! Godbless! Craig Cooper.
