Wow. Where to begin!! I started a new job which is one of the main reasons for the lack of posting. I've actually been busy!! I love my new job! For those that don't know, I switched companies and careers (pretty much). I'm now in HR, but I'm leveraging my accounting/finance background to perform reporting and analytics for HR and not finance data. Yay! Its very exciting b/c there is a lot of opportunity to bring best practices and to implement a more robust process related to data, analytics and reporting. Its exciting! And the company I now work for is WONDERFUL! Holy cow! The people, the culture, everything is really different but a good different. I'm slowly getting the hang of the acronyms, the structure and just the way things work around here. But I have no regrets and know this is one of the best decisions I have ever made regarding my career:-)
Mason is busy too! He's got a steady stream of clients and has some really unique cases. I'm so proud of him!! What a journey we've been through thus far! We also recently celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on the 23rd!!! I can't believe its been 2 years already!! This year we decided to go somewhere vs. buying gifts. Mason planned the whole trip and wanted it to be a surprise. We ended up heading to one of our places CHARLESTON!! We stayed at Middleton Place Inn. I really loved it!! Its one of those places you either like it or you don't b/c its kinda random. The inn is really a modern/retro architectural building. Which is not what you expect when staying at an Inn on an old Plantation, right?! The rooms were older then expected, but had a really purposeful design.
Happy Anniversary, Mason!! The past two years being married to you has been the most humbling and exciting time of my life! You are the funniest guy I know. SO smart, genius even;-) You're super cuddly, caring, charming, hard working, manly, romantic, clever, creative and handsome! I love living life with you and I'm excited to what the next minutes, days, weeks, months, and years bring! I love you! xx
Hi Michelle, I found your blog and it caught my attention. I started reading and then had to have my husband come over to read your last post too. I am in Finance/Accounting but would love to move into HR but thought it was a tough leap to make. I've been talking to my husband a lot about it, hence having him read your blog. You did it! You sound very happy about it too. I'm curious how you did it especially because you changed companies as well. Did you know someone, use a recruiter, how did you change your resume to fit an HR role, etc, etc?
ReplyDeleteIf you have a moment I would love to hear how you transitioned yourself into this new position.
