You blew me away when I shared that I was leaving my dream job<\/a> earlier this year. Your encouragement, kindness, and words of wisdom took me by surprise. I wasn\u2019t expecting such an outpouring of support, which just made me realize how all of us are incapable of seeing ourselves as other people see us. I am deeply grateful to you for shining your light on me. And now that I\u2019ve had three months to refocus my professional ambition, I am here again to humbly ask you to help me find my next dream job.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applying for jobs is a lonely, exhausting experience. As suspected, I have not been lucky with job application portals or AI resume scanners. With a communications career spanning 20 years \u2013 including PR, media (print and television), technology, professional sports, and nonprofit \u2013 I\u2019ve worn many hats. AI bots looking for correct keywords \u2013 as opposed to understanding your actual ability to do the job \u2013 are working against me.<\/p>\n

Which is why I\u2019m here today to ask for your help. And I believe you\u2019re still reading because you genuinely like helping people. Today, I hope that lucky someone is me.<\/p>\n

My career ambitions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before I dive in \u2013 let me just acknowledge the awkwardness. This feels like I am writing a professional dating profile. Must offer these benefits and interesting work challenges while accepting that I can\u2019t operate a coffee machine. Dogs onsite are a bonus.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In all seriousness, as I think about my next role, I am equally interested in either:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A full-time (or \u00be time) communications role on a senior leadership team (i.e. Director\/VP of Communications) with influence on org-wide initiatives, important decisions, and strategic direction.<\/li>\n
  2. A consultant position for an existing firm working on interesting projects for values-aligned clients where my experience will add value and further their communications\u2019 footprint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I love working in smaller companies, or on nimble teams, where I can see the impact of my work. I am most effective when I understand the big picture and can create a plan to achieve the overall goal while also playing a role in the plan\u2019s execution. Ideally, I would like to re-engage with the for-profit sector, however I would consider a senior level role at a well established nonprofit. I am open to temporary, permanent, or project-based work that\u2019s remote, hybrid, or in-person (in the greater Seattle area).\u00a0<\/p>\n

    How I can add value<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    My biggest passion is building transparent communications that engage and empower. I have deep experience in relationship building, mentorship, change advocacy and implementation, and project management. I approach all of my work through a lens of building trust and gaining loyalty through transparent, engaging communications.<\/p>\n
