My big to-do today is to rewrite my resume. Again. I met with my outplacement coach yesterday and we went through my resume. I thought I had done a good job updating it but BOY did she point out some places that need improvement. So I have work to do….
I’m also deep networking again. I spoke with a friend of mine yesterday that did a career change a couple of years ago. He’s in a good place now but says it was rough. I’m still all in on marketing but I always think it might be a good idea to get a project management certificate. I’m generally VERY organized, deadline driven and love to write presentations so project management always seems like an attractive alternative to marketing. I just can’t give up my love of figuring out how to connect a brand and a consumer though!
If I had my life to do over though, I’m wondering if I should have followed my first career ambition and went into physical therapy. The therapist at the hospital where I volunteered might not have done me any favors when he told me I was too petite to be a therapist. And life happened with my Mom passing away so going to college for business administration/marketing seemed like the right thing to do at the time. But it isn’t illegal to wonder is it?
OK – gotta go. I have a deadline to get my resume back to my coach!
