Unemployed for the first time in many years, I am fortunate to have a good support network, a cool dating partner, and my recent open studios gig to ease the transition. Terracotta was a great place to work with awesome people and I learned a lot. It's time to move on, and as I look toward the future I see opportunities for sales and project management perhaps, as I look at my options. If people know of IT sales or other sales opportunities, feel free to email me at keatts at gmail dot com, and if you know of ways to break into project management, whether it be training, jobs, certification, or people you know who would be good to talk to, let me know. I am trying to be open to possibities as I have some time to look around.
I don't think it's going to be fun to look for a job until after the election anyway. It should be better then, he says optimistically.
And I am optimistic. Everything happens for a reason, even if it means hard lessons, which I don't think is the case here. We will see what the future brings.
I sold several pieces at Open Studios, and have some definite ideas for new work. Feel free to share your own positive experiences of survival post-job or job change...
