Last week I lost my job. While venturing out into the world of the unemployed<\/a>, I decided to market my skills directly as a freelancer and consultant. I aim to continue the full-time job search, but with millions of people losing their jobs now may be the perfect time to work for myself. <\/p>\n

I am a writer by nature who loves to tell a good story. I\u2019ve decided to combine my media and communication expertise into my own business venture. I hope to take time defining a career change and carefully reviewing future full-time employment steps. In the meantime I believe this transition is an opportunity in disguise. It\u2019s a time to re-invent myself and clarify what I want to do with the rest of my working career. <\/p>\n

Networking is key. If you know anyone looking for a freelance writer or communication consultant please pass along my new business blog: Velez Communication<\/a>.<\/p>\n
