Put'n the Degree to Work

For those of you that don't know, I got my Bachelor's in Journalism. However, my work history has been in banking, customer service, sales and office management. Hmmm... Journalism?

Well, now I actually have an opportunity to put my degree to good use. I have TWO new jobs.

First, I now have a freelance job at The Examiner.
I will be writing in the Style and Fashion section as a SHOE Examiner.

Seriously. This is no joke.

I know, perfect, right?

Check it out --- often.

My second job, (the "real" one) which I start on Friday (wish me luck) is managing a group of proposal writers. This is for a security company that bids on jobs all over the world. My employees will be writing proposals for the bids. I will oversee those proposals and the contracts that come in. I don't know a lot of the details yet, but I am pretty excited.

I owe you lots of blogs, but I wanted to start with this one since it is an exciting change to my life.

Using my degree totally Sazzles!!!!
