Unemployment; New Life
This week marks 8 weeks without working, and it has truly given me time to focus on ME. Thinking about a 12 hour shift right now gives me a headache and anxiety. When looking for jobs in the past I would always look for non-big brands company as an Event Manager, Event Director, Senior Event Manager, etc. It didn't matter the distances, I could work 50-80 hours work weeks, no matter what days, $65K salary minimum with commission, along with the bells and whistles. TODAY, I'm looking at Big Brands, or somewhat established company as an Event Coordinator, Event Planner, Event Specialist, etc. $45-$50K Salary, 10 miles radius, Monday -Friday 40-50 hours MAX work weeks.

Unemployment - First Timer
Today I’m making a change. I’m walking away from my General Manager position—a position that has taken over my life these past seven months. I have worked 70-hour work weeks, six days a week, on and off for eight months. A cellphone glued to my hand even on my days off, constantly checking emails, calls, schedule requests, or text messages from employees. Even during family days, 3,000 miles away for a girl's weekend trip, my parents coming to visit for a few days, etc. Managing over 70 employees, four managers, vendors, partnerships, events, and so on.
