Hi, Everyone.
Just a quick thank you for your patience while I was busy earning a living and paying bills, instead of sitting down at night to write for the chapter.
I hope everyone is doing well. With this economy, it can be quite scary to know either someone that has lost their position, or like yours truly, had to leave their company because the company was moving to a location far from DC where the rent is cheaper in order to remain economically competitive.
There are some great things about DC to keep in mind:
1) We'll have a new administration starting January. Stand by for many federal job postings to come around and different firms that require additional administrative staff to help with proposals for the new leadership.
2) DC is one of the most recession proof cities in the country. Be sure to keep your skill set strong and try new software. Keep a positive attitude. As the saying goes, the more things change, the more things in DC stay the same! That definitely applies to administrative staff.
3) So many industries here.. Associations, lobbying firms, legal firms, consulting firms, hotels, meetings industry, sports teams..etc.. music, theatres etc.
I'll be sending out a letter to the chapter members this weekend with a chapter update. Feel free to contact the board anytime. Thanks again.- KMK Foley
