Living or surviving? (looking for a new career choice in central NJ)?
Question by wjplaud83: Living or surviving? (looking for a new career choice in central NJ)?
This is what I have for my resume (sans contact info and references) I need some great info to help out. Just a recap on my current info:
working in a brokerage firm doing maintenance (in which I am currently fed up with), I did college and have an ASA and need to land a better job. Obviously, I want to live instead of surviving. I am 27, have MS (this is a reason why I am looking for a no labor job) and fee; that my time in college has been wasted.
(Also, I do not know which category to place this in so if this is in the “wrong” one, please forgive me)

Hi there Living and Surviving,
Looks like you have a diverse background. Some of the things that really stand out are your abilities to market and being coachable. I only say this because of your desire for more education as indicated by achieving an AAS for Graphic Design and then your transistion over the Maxim group in a completely different profession. You also have a diverse range of application skills.
Have you thought about what your goals are? (What is your dream job?) Then, how are you going to get there? (Do you need more schooling, etc.) I also kind of make out that you have some leadership skills to boot if I am not mistaken by your Lead Designer position…this could help too.
Here are some suggestions:
Website Theme design
Starting your own business at outlet stores/market places/online-store (Didn’t find you online)
You could also find a partner to help out the business angle
I know someone with real success with illustrations for companies needing instruction manuals
made
Alternatively:
You could keep working odds and ends until your portfolio is large enough to approach a major retailer. Hone those skills and find a niche market. You could also do what I had done and take up a part-time business while you work full-time to make ends meet. Here is something you may be interested in www.Paidlikeaceo.com. Don’t worry, it is not a friends and family hassling gig, but something you could do in the meantime.
I wish you the best and if you know anyone else looking for a plan B, please pass my website along? Cheers!
