So, just because I think I need a few more "major life changes" this year, I'm going to start job hunting again. There are lots of logistical reasons, and a few more "I hate coming to work everyday" reasons......let's just say that I've left work in tears 3 days in the last week and I just think life is too short.
So since referrals have always served me well in the past, I'm telling everyone I know what I'm looking for. If you know someone who knows someone......then please let me know.
Ideally, my new job will be:
*In or really close to Olathe
*Family friendly (i.e. paid time off, will understand if I have to pick up and/or stay home with a sick child, etc)
*"normal" work schedule (weekdays)
*An atmosphere of respect and continual learning
*Other people there who really love what they do
*Decent wage (to support 3 kids) and benefits
Here's the thing--I have no formal training other than my own business, but I'd love to get into marketing and business development. Not sales really, and not cold-calling. But marketing, business development, client retention, etc. I speak well in front of crowds, write well enough to be a columnist for a trade magazine, and can deliver a pretty good presentation (whether rehersed or impromtu). I don't mind working odd hours to make up for time I miss because of the aforementioned sick kids, etc, and I work hard.
So, if anyone knows anyone who can steer me in the right direction, please let me know. Thanks :)

You should look into becoming a recruiter.
I've never even considered that Schaun. Thanks for the suggestion.
you should talk to Schaun about that Lisa!
good luck!
Good hours, office environment, unlimited earnings.
My recruiter cleared 87k last year and that was only his 2nd year of doing it. It can be stressful though.
Places you should check out would be Adecco, Spencer Reed, K-Force, Kelly etc.. those place will typically bring in someone entry level.
Thanks Schaun.....after the day I'm having today, I'm even more ready to check out other options.
Best of luck! Will keep my ears open for you!
