Yes well as I stated at the top of this blog this is a new beginning for me. Since the door closed on CBC-Radio-Canada I have graduated from UBC's Multimedia Intensive Studies Program. I have updated and changed my website I don't know a thousand times.. I have applied for work in this domain (still hoping to hear back) keeping my fingers crossed.

So back to transferable skills. I realize that my background is in television production but really everything I have done, learned, experienced is transferable. I am a very capable person. I can literally walk in to a new work environment, get the introductions and start working. I think it is that easy however, I am learning the hard way that it is not. THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT. Trying to sell and promote yourself and be willing to start at an entry level position (since I am a new career path) has been a challenge. I have spoken with a few head hunters and temp agencies and they all say the same thing...overqualified, why is she applying for such jobs and really she might get bored. NOT...I am willing to start at a beginners levels, I still have a lot to learn and really want to join a team that is willing to let me grow and maybe I can contribute with my extended experience in television production and help them along the way if they are so willing to maybe create some dynamic video spots for their web site.
On that note, still have faith that something will turn up. The internet is the wave of the future and really want to be part of it.
