Networking websites
Sites that I've gotten tips, interviews or jobs through;
Facebook and LinkedIn.
Sites that I've gotten useful information about studios and who's hiring: VFX Recruit
Every few months I hear about a new networking site but I only can handle about three.

Deliberate Practice
I'm currently reading Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else
by Geoff Colvin.
Colvin busts the myth that being great at something is the result of talent, or I.Q.; rather anyone who spends thousands of hours deliberately practicing their craft can achieve excellence. I wish I had read this book when I was eight.
One disturbing conclusion of Colvin's research is that most people don't become excellent at their work despite thousands of hours of doing it, in fact, many people become worse. I don't want to be one of those people! It is my strong desire to become consistently better at my work. However; I also want to maintain a life-work balance. So I believe I must find ways to improve my craft efficiently without spending more than 40-60 hours a week on work and professional development.
I will return to this book in future posts. Until then, happy holidays!
