With the passing of time there is change. People grow older, wiser, more wrinkly. You make new friends, get married, have children and of course – change careers.
That’s where I am. At the career changing phase. After I graduated college I was lucky to work for two amazing companies. With the first I was able to spend the summer traveling the country running junior golf tournaments with 5 other people that I love more than life itself. We started the summer as strangers and I will be friends with many of them for life.
After I left the internship, I was hired by a public relations and social media marketing firm here in Ga. This company produces social media marketing campaigns that cannot be topped. While working with this organization I learned a great deal about social media marketing, public relations, search engine optimization, everything. I learned most of what I know about socail media marketing from them.
But I always missed my roots, I missed planning events, I even missed running junior golf tournaments (something I never thought would happen). Way back when, when I was still in college (1 year ago this past week) I was planning events and running recruitment each year. I love the whole process, I love seeing events come together, I love working with people and I really missed it.
I stumbled across an opportunity to work with an amazing public relations / event planning company here in Atlanta and sent in my resume. Yesterday I was offered a job and I have accepted. I’m going to lay low on the name of the company until I’ve worked out the details with my boss about what she’s comfortable with me sharing on this blog, but until then let’s just say I couldn’t be happier. This is the right step for me career wise and I think it’s going to be an amazing opportunity. Everything just feels right.
I am going to be sad to leave my current company in two weeks. I have learned so much and made really amazing friends while working there, but I am looking forward to this new opportunity and seeing where life takes me.
So there you go friends, a little life update. Wish me luck and if there’s anyone looking for a great job in social media marketing / public relations, please let me know. I would be more than happy to pass along your resume.
