The wonderful thing about the job I have now is that it can use just about any talent I want to. I have been blessed with a boss who lets you pick your opportunities. My main job is as an editor. I edit press releases and I am an editor, but I can also write in my publications. I decided I wanted to increase my skills in social media — he sent me to a one-day conference and gave me the opportunity to run our social media plans. I had an interest in presentations — now I put together presentations. My job, and I think most jobs, are what you make of them. It helps to have a supportive environment, but my goal is always to take my job description and find a way I can make it fit for me. I have to work, but isn't it more fun to work if you are doing something you enjoy?
