From Brian: Two weeks ago today, I lost my job. Two days later my wife, Jamie K. Holmes, lost her job as well. We both loved our jobs, the companies we worked for, and the friendships we built with our co-workers over the years.
Life throws you a wicked curve ball at times and luckily, we have been there to support one another through this challenging time. We're both positive and optimistic our next challenge is just around the corner.
Jamie has 20+ years of experience in the banking and
mortgage industries. She has also been trying to get her foot in the door to dentistry as a dental assistant. She also has her educational background and early career in the hospitality industry.
I have worked in 20+ years in IT. The early part of
my career focused mainly on systems analyst roles and the latter part of my career in software development (C#). Since the pandemic, I have supported Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. The last 3.5 years, I have drove Lyft on weekend nights and discovered I am just more of an IT "social bug". Therefore, I am trying to focus my career search on more "people facing" roles. My long-term career goal is to get into leadership and management roles. I am looking for that first opportunity which has been difficult.
If you can assist Jamie and I in our job search it would greatly help and would be appreciated. A simple repost, new connection, conversation, or referral goes a long way towards both of us landing our next challenging opportunity.
Thanks for your support and happy holidays all! 🙂
