In my quest to find a new job, I decided to delve right into the social media abyss with a belief that I will come out the other end with an exciting new job!

In the midst of finding a new job, I'm also finding a new Carly too. One who gets excited by the idea of eating veggies and fruits rather than pizza and cheeseburgers. Crazy as it may seem, zuchini and watermelon are quickly taking over my heart where bread and cheese used to live. And I'm going to run with it as long as I can! And actually do some running on the treadmill too!

While I am already on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, I decided that I needed a website too! The website is to illustrate my educational background in marketing - that I have yet to utilize in my past marketing positions as well as highlight my work experience. I do understand that just submitting a cover letter and resume - no matter how fantastically awesome they may be - is not enough to get a job in this economy. So, in lieu of cold calling and stalking potential employers, this blog and my website (and other social media outlets) are the best way to network and put myself out there and get noticed (aka, get my resume pushed to the TOP of the stack!)

So, onward I move!
