Whisper Words of Wisdom

So one of the things that I have gotten a good bit of practice in lately is - - writing!

In mid 2005, I was called back to the Executive Search world by the dearest boss a girl could have, Miss Margaret, as an account executive. Needless to say, this third invitation during my career to go back to her company was quickly snapped up and accepted. So I returned to my roots of resume reading, screening, interviewing and presenting of candidates. Many a resume I saw, many a resume I tossed, many a resume I worked on the writing to make it presentable for my clients. A return to the fine art of resume writing.

In 2008, with the economy tanking and clients running for the hills, my less than senior status with the firm,found me laid off so, I, too, had to work on my own resume to keep income for sweetie and cutie pie for schooling. The fall 2008 found me working very part time for a good friend from another happy period in my life, my old commercial interior design firm where I worked in the 1980's in their marketing and sales departments. My friend, a co-worker from that era, had since opened up her own shop, a website retailer, and I was asked to do her administrative accounting for her. That was a nice job but sadly, not enough hours to meet the bottom line of looming college tuition, room & board costs. . . back to the writing words of wisdom again on my own resume.

In 2009, I took the first administrative job that would have me. The promise of a 25 - 28 hour work week for a non-for-profit that focused attention to helping cancer patients seemed like a good gig. The cause was noble and the pay would meet those looming bills, but by November of 2010, I was looking again for another gig.

More words of wisdom needed for my new updated resume.

More words of wisdom spoken in interviews.

And while that all too familiar routine of writing interviews, writing cover letters, posting emails, posting attachments, networking, talking, meeting was taking up my attention, I started to give some more thought this time to what I loved to do in my previous positions versus what I simply did. I can do a lot in administration and I make a pretty snappy receptionist but that wasn't all that I could do.

For years, I have been whispering words of wisdom through PR and Marketing in these previous jobs. Quietly, while directed by supervisor, I had been creating voices for others in the social media world. Hours were spent on research on email marketing targets, creative posts, interactive conversations and implementing informative content.

So my thought this past January was . . . why couldn't I take those skills and do them by myself, on my own.

Thus began my umbrella of social media marketing services and consultations became known as Whisper Words of Wisdom. I now trying my hand at posting, liking, following, tweeting, uploading, linking different forms of social media for my clients - a barrel of fun! And the kick is that I really like doing it, I have the time to do it and there are tons of people out there who like the idea in theory but cannot put it together in practice. I have found my nitch - a huge need that I can instantly become valuable. You don't have to let (it) your social media needs be, I can help you! I want to Whisper Words of Wisdom for you or your company. Come join me on what I hope is my new long and winding road.
