New Opportunities . . .

I hate to admit it, but lately I’ve been feeling a little unfulfilled . . . professionally. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love being a mother, but I know there is so much more to me. 

So, when I was given contact information regarding a possible job opportunity taking me back in to the public relations arena, I was intrigued and forwarded the firm my resume.  A casual meeting at Starbucks (I knew then that I would LOVE this firm) was arranged and I quickly set to work dusting off my portfolio and, of course, the all important question of what I should wear. 

It was with excitement and a little bit of nervousness that I put on my glad rags and met with one of the owners of the PR firm as well as the marketing manager.

It is now a few weeks later and I am thrilled to say that I have been hired on as a new account executive with the firm!!  It wasn’t the initial position that I was interviewed for as that was more marketing — this is one that they had been considering adding on to their firm for a while.  It is an amazing opportunity and a position that will allow me the flexibility to work from home so I can essentially get the best of worlds — feel fulfilled both professionally and personally! 

I know it may take a while for the family to get over the shock of the momma going back to work, but they’ll be fine.  Coz if the momma is happy, then everyone’s happy, right?

Now, I just need to go and finish up that press release, but I’ll be back shortly!
