According to the Secret.com, we are supposed to tell the
universe exactly what we want. Apparently, the universe doesn’t read minds. So,
here goes…
Let me just preface this request
with my utmost gratitude to my current employer and coworkers. I am in an
incredibly supportive office environment, where my energy and creativity are
valued. Unfortunately, my home purchase was made during a higher income period
and is cause for this “pretty please” letter to the Universe.
Dear Universe,
I would like to be part of a
fabulous team of people with a shared goal of making the world a better place. That’s
pretty broad. I’m trying to make it easy on you, Big U. For the details…
I have an excellent ability to
communicate thoughts, ideas, and technical details on diverse subject matter in
writing and verbally. I am direct, clear, and diplomatic. I am also witty,
funny, and light-hearted. I have the social aptitude to discern the appropriate
situational approach.
I enjoy using my energy and creative
problem-solving skills to come up with solutions. I enjoy brain-storming
sessions, creating implementation strategies, tapping into human capital, and
engaging people through to implementation.
I passionately absorb information from all around me and
that feeds into my resourcefulness. I enjoy connecting people with the
resources they seek.
My ability to bring sunshine into an office is frequently
cited and that, in turn, feeds my personal satisfaction.
I can type incredibly fast, can multi-task like an octopus,
have a knack for picking up new skills easily, such as learning new programs
and processes, and understanding complex ideas. I have the ability to speak to
groups of people, and answer their questions. Pulling order out of chaos is one
of my special talents.
My work-life philosophy is two-fold - work smarter, not
harder and work hard, play hard. I believe in the amazing synergy that is
created by being in the right work place, surrounded by the right colleagues.
Things I get excited about are: education, healthy living,
conservation, green energy, smart growth, promoting a peaceful, caring, global
connectedness.
I have worked with a diverse group of individuals and
organizations including legislators, CEOs, lobbyists, constituents, membership
organizations, educational organizations, the old, the young, conservative,
liberal, rich, poor, educated, and not so much – and everything in between.
My minimum requirements are: a salary that covers my bills,
affords me a savings, the ability to provide healthy meals for my family, the
extra expenses that come with having two high-school age kids involved in
extra-curricular activities, and - their
special request - to go on a yearly vacation. It is imperative that I am
covered with medical/dental/vision insurance, as well as for my children.
Ideally, I would have a flexible work schedule and the ability
to work from home, at least occasionally.
I am always available by phone and email, and most of the
time, in-person.
And, Universe, if you send some curious soul my way, I will
definitely put in a good word for you!
With respect and love,
Heather
