Since I’ve created my own open-air job hunt, I figured it only makes sense to share a little background. This blog was created after an out-of-state move and an eight-month search that has tested both my patience and my car’s mileage. Right now, I’m driving 5 hours round-trip to work—which is kind of making me feel like I’m paying to be there. So, if you know a guy who knows a guy—I’m your gal and I’m looking for a new opportunity here in Central Maryland.
As for my professional experience, I am currently an Office/Warehouse Manager at a Safety/Jan-San Distribution company. Not to spend too much time reiterating previous pages, but my duties are not limited to account maintenance, shipping logistics, or my unexpected forklift skills.
Most recently, my team was recognized for preventing a very costly freight charge. A 24-pallet delivery needed rerouting, and instead of tackling it solo, I divided the work strategically. I took on the billing departments while others contacted the shipper, trucking company, and customer. That quick coordination stalled the delivery just long enough for me to get it redirected—and off of our books. It was a true team effort, and it enforced what I believe: great teams don’t just “follow,” they collaborate. Although, a good solo project is always something to look forward to.
That said, I’m also open to opportunities beyond my current industry. I’ve long been drawn to fields in healthcare like working with differently abled or aging adults or skilled trade industries like elevator mechanics, and welding.
While my approach to job hunting may be unconventional, I believe it reflects my determination, and resourcefulness. And at the very least, I know I stood out.
