My boss a recruiter. Not only do I hear her interviewing at least five candidates a day, but I also hear about what makes them bad and what turns them into an employee. I know that once I leave this job, I will know first-hand what recruiters are looking for, what to say in an interview and how to give an original answer; not the standard, "I think I'd be good at this job because I love meeting new people and I am really outgoing, a definite leader." My boss said that what bothers her more than asking the same questions over and over is hearing the same answers.
However, most importantly, what I have learned over the last four days is that once Hubby and I finally settle somewhere, I will never work another job where I am stuck in a cubicle for 40 hours each week, staring at a computer screen. The mere thought of typing this blog is the reason why it has been so long since I last updated. I want to do something where I am my own boss, I don't have to answer to someone else, where I can make my own hours and be in charge of my own income, and most importantly, something that I enjoy doing.
With all that being said, I think I have decided that once Hubby and I move back to Charleston, SC, I will start my own wedding planning business. Being the number two wedding location in the country, behind only Vegas, Charleston is the ideal location for me to start this venture. I would want to go back to school to get my MBA, so I have more business background than my minor provided. My sister told me about organizations that help small businesses get started, helping them write their business and marketing plans, doing their taxes and all that other business that entrepreneurs need help with. Anyway, this is my new life plan, any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
On a side note, Hubby comes home for R&R in 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ashley,
You gained some good incites during your first week of work! There is a real need for people to plan special events including weddings. A good place to get experience doing this would be to work at a hotel and function destination (golf club, etc). I work with a lot of function planners in my job and they rarely sit down!
