Travel is my favorite kind of bug.

DAY 90:  TRANSITION PART #3 - WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT WORK WHEN I GET HOME?

7/17/2014

Sunday, July 13 (Dorset, England & Belfast, Northern Ireland) – When it comes to the professional world, I have always pushed myself to work as hard and strategically as possible.  I have made great contacts and collected strong bullet points for the resume, and I am pretty confident that I could find a job in the marketing / sales development field upon my return, if that's what I want or if I get stuck and need some cash.  So I wasn’t going to let myself stress about it.  

But, the number one question I get from anyone I come across is about my job and what I will do when I get back home.  This continuous question has forced me to think about work a little more than I would have liked to, and I’m still not exactly sure what my ideal job would be or what I will do upon my return.  So, I have come up with the following thoughts to help guide me to whatever I will do next to *happily* make up some of the money I have spent in the past three months!

Random thoughts to help me figure out what to do next in the professional world:
  • Marketing / Advertising: my field, my comfort zone, but a very big world and many skills are transferable
  • Travel, fitness, horses:  areas/industries I am most interested in and passionate about
  • The thought of sitting at a desk all day: gives me anxiety!  Maybe I would prefer being able to go to clients or external meetings or even travel for work occasionally?
  • I need to truly believe in a brand or product in order to be happy in my day-to-day
  • How do I become a consultant or a freelance marketer?
  • I kind of want to work with small businesses like niche gyms, travel apps and fitness/health professionals to help develop their brands 


Thoughts, anyone?
