You heard correctly. After five months of nerve wrecking
social media, marketing, and learning html code that had me drained every
night, this girl has been canned for lack of aggressiveness and a lack of
robotic workaholic nature.
My initial reaction was pure anger and confusion. I admit,
it had been a significant adjustment from being a marketing manager of a
Podiatry practice with an established patient base and name recognition in
Charlotte, to a small, relevantly new, but fast paced recruitment firm.
As a one-woman show running the marketing department, wearing
20 hats at a time was rough and would be tough on anyone, not to mention someone who has
struggled with organizing one’s thoughts her whole life. Being confronted with
criticism and bombarded with new tasks each day left little time to really plan
anything concrete or make it a joyous occasion to go to work everyday.
Now I am unemployed, and on the job hunt again. This blog is going to be my account and
adventure into unemployment. Perhaps I’ll find something quickly (hopefully),
but perhaps it will take some time. I
will discuss re-writing my resume, networking around the Queen City, job
interviews, and any odd jobs I find on my way.
Today held a fun adventure with filing for unemployment. It was relatively easy, but hopefully it won't be necessary for long!
Keep your fingers crossed!
Hang in there Jen. I understand where you are and what you're going through. If you can, take this opportunity to do things for yourself you wouldn't have time to do otherwise. I'm sure you have heard this before and will probably hear it again at some point in your life, but ... everything happens for a reason. It's hard to comprehend what it could possibly be at times, but in retrospect it all makes sense. Love you, Luanne.
ReplyDeleteI'd hire you in a moment, Jennifer, but I'm sure you'd fire us in quick order! You'll find something soon, I'm sure. Maybe you could do PR for a bakery. Is Bimbo hiring? They've gotten very big in the Philadelphia area in the last year or two.
ReplyDeleteI have never even heard of Bimbo.. Must be a northern thing!
