Monthly Wrap Up
General updates and housekeeping
Hi there,
As discussed in my earlier announcement, let's try a monthly wrap-up edition.
This edition will be an opportunity to mention a thing or two I am working on and lessons from resources I have read.
So here's our first read.
What’s New?
I became a LinkedIn Top Voice.
I feel honoured to be one of 300 out of a billion LinkedIn users recognised with this badge this year.
Here’s the announcement on LinkedIn.

Quote Of The Month
Here's a quote I found online this month that resonated with me.
What I Am Currently Working On
You have spoken, and I have listened.
I conducted a poll on what career guide you would be interested in.
Many of you responded with what you wanted.
Therefore, I have been working on a simple resume and cover letter guide to help you easily land your next job interview.
The Data Resume and Cover Letter Algo is currently available for pre-order. As a loyal Career Digest member, you get a pre-order offer.
Prices will go up once it's published and goes public in September.
Hurry and pre-order now - https://banjialo.gumroad.com/l/resumeandcoverletteralgo
A Book I Read This Month
I am strongly interested in web development, so I have been reading about building custom web applications.
I picked up Nathan's book since I am not really good at designing to help me understand the principles of a good web design - https://nathanbarry.com/webapps/
Nathan Barry is the Founder of ConverKit, an email marketing software for creators. The last time I checked, the company had made about $USD10M in annual revenue.
It's a great read so far.
I have also read his book "Authority" on How to become an authority in your niche - https://nathanbarry.com/authority/
It's worth checking out if any of these topics interest you.
That’s all for today.
See you next week.
