My Professional Life

Have you seen these resume clouds? Kind of cool. I created this one using Wordle.
Wordle: resume cloud

The thing I find really cool about the resume cloud is how it highlights certain areas of my career. Obviously my two areas of heavy concentration have been marketing and communications. But the resume cloud also shows that management -- of people and working with senior executives -- has also been a vital part of my career.

The other key to my career has been participation with and leading committees. I have spent a great deal of time working with non-profits, professional groups and on project teams in my various businesses. The one thing that I have found extremely valuable about committees is the opportunity to work with various personalities and work styles. This has given me the chance to hone my communication skills tremendously.

What about you? Where have you learned the most in your career?
