A New Chapter

After twelve years working at the boutique firm The Creative Network, the downturn in the economy forced them to let me go. Studying abroad currently, I am quite vulnerable to any changes in my financial situation and this development hit me hard. I have found new employment at a global investment firm that suits my hours and my studies - the environment is great and the people are very nice. I can sincerely say that I enjoy the work and it's perfect for my situation - but I can now count myself in the ranks of the "underemployed". I have a job - and for that I am happy and thankful.

Given as how this is a recruiting blog, I will no longer be making updates until (and if ever) I get back into recruiting. When/if my situation changes, I'll be sure to get on here and let everybody know. I'm sure you'll be waiting with baited breath. ;)

Good luck all, may things turn around in the economy sooner than predicted...

Comment by Rob K on September 16, 2009 at 1:16pm: Hello Nancy,
Just came across your profile on LinkedIn and read your blog. I have a financial option that would greatly enhance and stabilize the cyclical nature that Recruiting and industries in general tend to do. My passion is helping inside and outside staffing, and I would be humbled if you would contact me so I can provide you with information that I know helps as it has for me and my family. There is no cost involved, just one person wishing to help another. My contact info is attached. God bless, Nancy.
