Good news!

Panelists at the LinkedIn Rock Your Profile event in Seattle.
Since leaving television more than a year ago I've been in the midst of a career transition. Despite some obstacles I feel like I'm hitting my stride.
In August I was one of more than 100 people who were let go from a large company. That put my life into a bit of a tailspin. Losing a "safe" job was unexpected but I quickly ventured back into the temp world again. After a few assignments I was led to thinkspace, a company that offers office space to entrepreneurs, tech startups and small businesses. Recently the CEO, Peter Chee, spoke at an event sponsored by LinkedIn.

The good news is Peter invited me to the event and asked that I write up a recap which is now posted on their corporate blog. It's called LinkedIn's #RockYourProfile Event in Seattle Showcases How To Stand Out In The Crowd. I learned a lot at the event, networked, and I enjoyed writing about it as well.

This is a win.

Not only is it a great resume builder, the experience has also helped my self confidence. Changing careers hasn't been easy but this is just one more step in the right direction.

This is just the beginning. Great things are in store for me in the future and I can't wait to see what they're going to be.
