The Jobs are Coming

I began 2010 by losing my job of five years and I was out of work for several months. It was starting to look pretty grim and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find anything. It seemed like employers were looking for someone with entry level experience or more than 10 years experience. That left me, with only six years of experience, without a lot of options.

Not many jobs were available in my public relations and marketing profession, especially in the Detroit area. Automotive companies and suppliers were cutting their budgets and getting rid of a lot of marketing people. That left the market saturated with highly skilled people as well as a lot of people newly graduating from college. And I was left stuck in the middle.

I've Cut the (Cable) Cord

So many people can't believe that I don't have cable. I can't believe that so many people are paying such outrageous prices just to watch TV.

About three years ago, when I moved into my new apartment, I didn't opt for cable. A few months after moving in, a gentleman came to my door offering cable. Told him I mainly watched network TV and wasn't interested. He convinced me to get "basic" cable (no boxes) for only $12.99/month. At this rate I said it was a great deal. Well.....

It's Been a Long Time

So I haven't blogged in quite awhile, and I feel pretty bad about it. Especially since as a public relations person, I'm always touting the greatness of blogs and social media. They can build your personal brand and your company, yada yada yada. Lately, I have not practiced what I preach.

So with that being said, here I come again! I'm planning on catching everyone up on what's been going on in my life. I'll share some of things I've learned about life, dating, family and work. Although a lot of people don't even read my blog, one day I'll be famous and I will have already written most of my life story.

Well, on to the next post! See you soon.
