Chapter 2: The Awakening

HIRED

I start my new position at Music For All, Inc. (www.musicforall.org) on July 2. My title is Graphic Design Specialist. More to come as this opportunity to pair my passions unfolds.

All I can say is that I'm a firm believer in volunteer work benefiting others. But I never knew it would become the reason I found a job. I volunteered at the Broad Ripple Art Fair in Indy in May. I volunteered for Music For All in February with their National Festival. I saw a Music for All table at the art fair, stopped to say hi and discovered as the two volunteers conversed that MFA was looking for a graphic designer. I was looking for a job. Information was exchanged. A few emails later and an impromptu interview, I was offered the position. What a great match of my interests and personality. Honestly, it's the 180 I needed. And a compensation package to match most of my worth. Still hard to commute from Bloomington but it's something I might be able to do in a carpool. Details later but if you're well employed or seeking a job- VOLUNTEER! You never know when who you'll help- it might even help you!
