I’ve worked in the publishing industry for over 20 years, navigating through different roles and responsibilities. A year and a half ago, I decided to embark on a unique adventure, sailing along the intercoastal waterways of the US with side trips to the Bahamas. I thought this lifestyle change would be a long-term chapter, but plans change, and now I find myself eager to dive back into the workforce.
And you know what? I’m genuinely excited about it. I’ve always enjoyed working, and now, at this stage in my life, my priority is to find a job that’s not just fulfilling but downright fun. I’ve had the pleasure of working in roles that brought joy to my professional life, such as a content architect, festival planner, and team lead.
Reflecting on these experiences, I’ve come to realize that what makes a job truly enjoyable for me boils down to a few key elements:
- Clear Communication of Expectations
I thrive in an environment where expectations are clearly communicated. Understanding what’s expected of me allows me to perform at my best and contribute meaningfully to the team’s success.
- Great Teammates
The camaraderie and collaboration with great teammates are irreplaceable. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside incredible individuals who not only share the workload but also make the workplace an enjoyable and supportive space.
- A Great Boss
Leadership matters. Having a great boss who inspires, guides, and values the team’s efforts creates a positive work atmosphere. I believe in the power of effective leadership to bring out the best in everyone.
As I navigate this next chapter, I’m actively seeking opportunities that align with these principles. If you know of any exciting roles or have insights into organizations that prioritize clear communication, fantastic teamwork, and outstanding leadership, I’d love to hear from you! Let’s connect and explore the possibilities together.
