I have been off here dealing with some life issues. BUT I am thinking maybe the powerful Spoutible community can help me as it has before.

After all, what can't Spouties do? So:

CAN SPOUTIES HELP ME NETWORK TO FIND A NEW JOB AND CAREER?

Let me give more context....(thread to follow.)

Vestiges of a major bereavement had me take a break in my career. Joining Spoutible was instrumental in my finding my voice again. I am ready and excited to get going on a new opportunity. I am hitting some traditional walls:

- Gap on resume
- Ageism in my career (over 45 yo women!)

Its scary!

- Flexible
- Fun to be around

- Strong communicator of stories and ideas
- Have had great success in past

What have I specifically done?

Most of my career has been in media sales and advertising. I am not married to it as it is a very young industry. So I want to see where my transferable skills can come into play.

I am looking for something to love. Where I am looked at as a person and not a piece of paper.

On paper it is hard to place me. And I am better face to face than on my over qualified yet eclectic resume. Hard skills experience and strengths:

- Partnership Marketing/Sponsorships
- Strategic planning and development
- Event planning
- Public Relations
- B to B Sales Revenue Driving
- Writing

First, we have missed you and hope things are better for you now. I work in the nonprofit association sector (not just charitable orgs) and I know that many could use skills such as yours. If this is something you would consider DM me so we can connect offline.
