Just breathe

This too shall pass

This Thursday, I’ll be on my way to Florida for a wedding with new friends. I couldn’t be more excited! It also couldn’t come at a time when I was more broke.

I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall in my job search. My plan is to use Florida to reorganize my thoughts and brainstorm for a new strategy.

I have been connecting with companies I am interested in working for, as well as their CEOs on LinkedIn, Twitter, and liking them on Facebook. As my main goal is to use my ability to write and strategize to expand resources for a company or organization, I’ve determined that learning how to use social media in an innovative way to my own advantage can only increase my chances to find a career in which I am utilizing these same skills (plus it is really fun!!!).

For now, this is my strategy, but I need a more proactive approach. I wish I was further into my career or that I had a larger network in the city, but I don’t. I have to use the resources I have on hand and push to create greater ones.

I am a quick learner, a strong writer, a creative planner, a hard worker. I know what I can accomplish if given the opportunity.

Working in a financial field, I have learned things that I never thought I needed to know, but every opportunity leads to a greater one and every experience is a learning process. Not knowing brings challenge, and isn’t that the reason I moved here? I was stagnant, and though I have no desire to make a career out of finance, I believe it is a stepping stone in providing new challenges.

But seriously, what’s with all of these numbers, people? Give me some abstract thought and innovation and I’m golden!!
