Keeping your skills in practice is important, especially when you're in the process of finding employment. Which leads to my latest project: being the marketing specialist for The August Group's upcoming wine tasting fundraiser. As you can see above, a lot of details still need to be filled in, the event planning team is on that! I do have some ulterior motives for being in on this project, too. I love wine.
Earlier in December The August Group held a career fair, where I was the Marketing Team lead. The combined efforts of the career fair team helped make one of the most successful career fairs in TAG's history. It also gave me a good feel for taking part in large-scale projects, as most of my experience has been with working in small committees where 75 attendees for an event was considered a great turnout.
Which brings me to why I'm happy I picked Rochester as the city to move to. Sure it was an easy pick, having friends who already live here, but there's another reason. Rochester is big on networking, and volunteering, which provides ample opportunity to meet new people and keep my skills fit. If it weren't for the networking groups in Rochester, I would not have the opportunities I have now. I've met a lot of fantastic people, and have a chance to participate in some great events. Having activities like this keeps me going, and keeps me in good spirits.
To everyone reading, happy new year and I hope 2014 turns out to be great.
