Free Newsletter Content

I've authored a HUGE amount of content over the years as an engineer to help me study, then used it to help students at a school where I mentored and taught for 7 years, and still give away for FREE, delivered straight to your email inbox. No ads and no gimmicks to sell you something.

I've sent this content to hundreds of thousands of inboxes over the years. I give it away for FREE to help people get great jobs and to help them succeed. My only ask is that you pay it forward to help someone else out when you have the means.

Here's how it works:

  1. You give me your email address below.
  2. I'll send you an email to confirm you typed the email address correctly. There's a unique link in the email that brings you back here to pick which newsletters you want.
  3. You'll pick your time zone and what time of day you want to get all of the newslettes (eg, 9am Pacific time)
  4. For each newsletter, you'll also pick how frequently you want to get the messages -- daily? weekly? somewhere in between? You tell me how many days apart you want each message.
  5. You can change your settings OR unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time. Your unique link will be in EVERY email message.
  6. When a newsletter is finished, I start to drop your information out of the database.
  7. When your last subscription is finished, I erase EVERYTHING about you from my database. No re-marketing, no begging to resubscribe, nothing!

Oh yeah ... two more things:

  1. Hit Reply on any newsletter message to get straight back to MY inbox if you have a question. I LOVE getting feedback from my readers. Got an opinion? Find a typo? Did you get a job? Reply to any message and let me know!
  2. There's no ads anywhere on the web site or in the emails. I'm not trying to sell you anything. ... Well, unless you WANT private coaching... but that's all, I promise!
