Why I Would Be an Asset to Any Organization

Just because I haven't seen a paycheck with my name on it in nine years doesn't mean I've lost touch with the world. I have my very own blog with which I routinely practice basic HTML formatting like centering text and making words BIG! and inserting important links and great things like that.

I've also written the school newsletter and yearbook, and served as the parent liaison between the school and the school district's communications officer. I'm trying my best not to rest on my laurels as I try to make it back to the land of the living paid workforce.

But most importantly, I would like my tenure in my current position to be seen by others as I saw it when I made the decision to be a full-time mom: I tackled a daunting set of responsibilities and committed myself to fulfilling my duties to the fullest extent. I didn't "take time off" from any job, I threw myself completely and utterly into a different one.

That's the same thing I will do for anyone who hires me. I will throw myself into the job and give it my full attention and apply my considerable talents toward the challenges that lay ahead of me.

Plus, if anyone wants someone who can juggle many tasks under pressure, I will have him/her know that I had to de-skunk a dog at 1:30 a.m. while caring for two small children with the stomach flu while my husband was out of town.
