Freelancing the JOG DOG

I made a decision last week to stay with my current freelance gig and I must say that I'm happy I did. After a few months of thinking I didn't like what I was doing, I took a step back and realized that I did like it but it was the positions that I recruit for and the volume of it that may not have been my ideal. But after really thinking about my life and where I am and where I want to be I realized that I am good with this role....at least until the end of the year. So I'm committed until this time, which is great for a freelancer to have something for a full year (at the very least).

My goal is to create a name for myself as THE ONE to go to when you need freelance recruiting help. Whether you're in the US or Asia, I believe I can help you and I want to grow my business like this and always be employed (and working remotely). My former Tax Partner from KPMG wrote a really nice recommendation for me on Linkedin as I recently filled some positions for his company. I love that I still have my own clients and will continue to work like this moving forward. Again, having people know that others recommend you is key so I must keep working this way as I move forward.

A few years back I didn't have the guts to freelance. I always thought I had to be employed by a company with benefits and whatnot. But really, this lifestyle (if you can get the work) is fabulous for someone like me. I have the work/life balance and the flexibility that I always dreamed. If I can continue on this path, I hope to work like this (when I need to) well into my old(er) age. So, yay for me!

I did turn down an AMAZING opportunity (freelance as well) but hope I can revisit it at some point. It's all about staying connected, doing a bang up job and being positive with others. If you do this, good opportunities will keep coming to you.

Now....if I could only get my love life on track. Maybe this could be a combination JOG/DOG. Job blog AND dating blog? Hmm....would the two work well together? We shall see.

With that being said, if anyone has a fabulous fella that you think I should meet I'm up for it!

My new slogan from here on out....

DATE ME!
