Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
You know how I am — always a little opaque about my day jobs. That said, I mentioned a job interview last week, and I was offered the job so I figure I better share a bit about it:
* It’s part time. I’ll be working three days a week. This means I get to keep working on all my projects like offbeatbride.com, writing my next book, etc., all with the knowledge that my mortgage will always get paid.
* It’s permanent. I won’t be a contractor or freelancer. I’ll be a full blown employee with benefits.
* My new title is Marketing Manager - Content Management, Staffing Marketing. I’ll be acting as a roving reporter, collecting stories from happy employees to market the company as a great place to work.
* It’s with a software company. A big one. The biggest one?
* I start in one month.
Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.
