Alan Martin

Project Manager, Social Media Manager, and Consultant in Brunswick, Ohio

I still don't know what color my parachute is...

I've been working for 20+ years in a variety of fields and I can't remember being passionate about any of them. I've approached a crossroads in my in my life where my heart is no longer in my work, so now I begin my epic crusade to find the career that is custom tailored to fit me and my abilities. Honestly though, I have no idea what career that may be. What I do know now, after a long period of research and self awareness, is what I can offer.

Alan is:

-a natural leader

-tech savvy

-a self starter

-driven

-a dreamer/ambitious

-creative

-a critical thinker

-highly organized

-focused on detail

-an exceptional judge of character

-charismatic

-outspoken

-articulate, and loves to write

-able to effectively communicate

-a people person

I've been exposed to a lot throughout my working career which converts to a multitude of real world experiences. I've done everything from retail management, to construction, to waiting tables.

I envision myself in a position that allows me to be creative, apply both my soft, and hard skills and possibly lead a group of people to new heights.

**update: After several personality tests, career assessments and general research I have finally discovered the career path that I believe is meant for me. Public Relations/Communication. I fit the criteria for the position and each role or responsibility associated with this career genuinely excites me. Now to pave the path to my future...
