Engagement Account Executive
I connect my clients to their audiences via digital media.
I get to work after a good breakfast (important!) and check my email for any red flags. I grab a cup of coffee and a snack and chit chat with my amazing co-workers. Then I dive into good reads; inspiration for the day, and tackle my most challenging or quickest task. At lunch, I read industry-related material, then return to work to meetings and more tasks. I work out to stay sharp, then get home for dinner before tackling more work 'til midnight. I'm a night owl... it works for me.
Here's the first step for professionals
I'm the type who wants as much information as possible before making a big decision. First of all, KNOW YOURSELF. Don't do something because you want a good paycheck; if success to you means happiness, not necessarily a fat paycheck, then you won't feel good about your day-to-day. Once you are grounded in who you are and what you live for, then consult as many qualified people in that industry for an informative interview. This is the kind of info you don't learn in school.
