I have a broad skill set. I have done front end design of web pages, back end coding, worked as an office manager, in retail, and most recently in Christian ministry. I love that I have a wide variety of experiences to draw from. However, it can be daunting as well. When you find yourself without a job, where do you begin? What kind of job do you look for?
There are a couple of threads that run through my experience. I love working with computers and new technology. These days I am fascinated with social media and its use in business and marketing. I am always reading and trying to learn more and love opportunities to do hands on work. Most of what I know about computers and coding I have learned on my own.
The second thread is people. I love helping people whether it is finding the best product in a store or helping them understand, find or do something on their computer. Most of the jobs I have been in I have ended up being a sort of personal help-desk to those around me and I love it. One of my first jobs, I did a lot of training. There is nothing like being able to see the light come on when someone finally gets something.
I don’t know what I will end up doing, but I do look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow.
