Looking to reinvent career
After working retail and now in the bartending and waitressing field, I realize I have untapped talent with regards to my people skills. I have received job offers recently on the spot, most are sales . Looking for more options regarding hotel management or party planning. My gift of gab and ability to multi task are an asset.

The Same 'Ol Thing
I ended up retiring at a young age because I couldn't cope with my job. I was always getting warnings and working my butt off but just not being good enough. I'd wake up with my stomach churning and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. I think my employer really wanted me to leave. The problem is that I've had to take any job because I needed an income. I accepted a lot of jobs that I hated. I've been working in insurance since 1984 and I hate insurance. Insurance and I don't get along--it is not a good fit. I was interested in fundraising or being an administrative assistant--in planning and coordinating activities. I was not interested in being in the back working with details and trying to get it done in a short period of time. I'd go to employment agencies and tell them what I wanted and lo and behold I'd get placed with some insurance company. My resume shows that I have experience with insurance and details--it doesn't show that I really stunk. A lot of it is my fault. I should have followed my gut and studied elementary education but at the time there were tons of teachers. Instead I studied mass communications and when I was a senior I found out that I would have a very difficult time getting work. If I did I could forget about social life which is important to me. When I came out of college I had no skills. Over the years I have gone to night school to gain skills but I still got stuck in insurance. I learned to be a word processing operator and was interested in working for an engineering or architectural firm or an aerospace firm--but no I ended up in insurance. I had that in my job history and I asked the employment companies to please not send me to insurance. I was sent to a state office that I was told dealt with retirement but I didn't do retirement. They had a subsidiary and guess what--it was a place where we processed insurance claims. I look back and I see I was stupid to accept something I didn't like. I was stupid not to realize that mass communications would not be a lucrative field for me and I should have realized that the hours would prevent me from the social life that I so much need. I can't believe how stupid I was.

How I can help other with my culinary skills?

How high are our heights?
Just wondering, how far can a person reach in this company starting from this entry level position? I feel as though I bring a lot of character, and enthusiasm to any environment and would love the opportunity to rise within the UPS brand.

Over Three Years Later...
I held my last job, officially, for over three and a half years. It was one of the greatest experiences in my life but it was not in my chosen field so it was time to move on. Working for a small, local business for that long gives you a special relationship with your coworkers and superiors. It was a very difficult decision to move away from two stable, well paying jobs to somewhere where I was not sure what the future held but with the potential of a brighter one. I am still trying to find stable work in my new home but with the experience I gained in my previous positions, I am confident that I will be able to meet any challenge new jobs could put before me.

Doe this still exist?
I am looking for a company that is serious about growth and success. A company that doesn’t mind thinking outside of the box. A place where they really mean its ok to try new things.
Does this exist anymore?
