I am happy to announce...

So Blogger friends you are the first to hear this and read this...

NO I am not pregnant....

but YES after complaining about my job and stressing too much I have decided to look for a NEW JOB! Yes I know that the economy is not good and yes I know I will probably get paid less at what ever I find but I need to do something that makes me HAPPY!

So for those of you who don't know. I got hired by a really nice company in Nov. that talked so much about growing. It was an old company but new to Suwanee and looking to grow to over 15 people. After being there for 9 months, I am still the only one in my side of the building. ONLY ONE.  So you might be thinking well what is the problem with that.... Well my biggest problem is besides GChat (mainly with Kristin, Aimes & Sarah. I use to have Heather but now she cant with her new job- boo! haha), There is NO one to talk to!  Also, I am the only one required to work in the office so therefor there are some days when NO ONE is even in the building! With deliveries and people men coming in, it just makes me feel really uncomfortable. Did I mention that the owner is bi-polar...?? (I can hear him yelling now... ACROSS the building...Scary...) Did I mention he once got so mad about a screw popping out that he broke his desk... Well I really don't want to bash him, because I am sure he is a good person, I just want to say why I feel I need to get out. He was also okay with the idea of me moving on.  I am still so young and have so much to offer. I don't want to get stuck in an unhealthy job that will not benefit me for my future.

So what do I wanna do? I would love to work in a field where I get to work with people and get to make a difference every day!
  1. A TEACHER!!! Then I can coach and do clubs--> DREAM JOB! The idea of being able to impact the future of these kids just seems so rewarding! I was an Early Childhood major for 2 years until I had to work in a bad school in a bad area and decided... ummm... not for me. But with Gwinnett hiring and experiencing the "Corporate World"- I think know I would LOVE to be a teacher or work with in the schools. Teachers do not get enough credit or pay but I know the rewarding feeling of impacting these students is worth way more than any of that!
  2. Guest Relations/Hospitality--> Work in a Hotel or a Events Facility. Something fun and different everyday with a lot of people interaction. 
  3. Work @ a  Larger Corporation--> A place where there are more people my age and a lot of interaction. Maybe an HR position?Maybe the reason that I want to stay out of the Corp world is because I don't like my "corp" job now. I am really in the mood to interview for 20 different places and see what I like best.
I believe that everything happens for a reason and that I will find the perfect job for me. I have no problem starting at the bottom and working my way up. I just don't want to cut my pay in half... hmmm... Right now, at my company,  there is no higher you can go (besides being the owner) then COO so I almost have nothing to look forward to or work for. 

So if you know of any place hiring or any good professions for me, please let me know!

This is a really scary thing to do, but I love and embrace change and am ready to make a difference in the world!

I really appreciate all the support and advice!

Cheers to new beginnings! :)

  1. Aww good luck! I worked in a job for a year I was miserable in and had to quit completely to go back and get certified to teach. I was in a similar situation where I was sometimes the only person in the office. It is very lonely and not fulfilling at all. The year after I quit was rough but the best decision I ever made! Hope that gives you some motivation! Find something you love and go for it before you get a family and all of that!
