dream job #8

Ministry

Sometimes I think-- why should we have any other job besides ministy? What is the most important thing in this whole life? Yes I know that God places us in different settings in groups of people to do minisrty where we are at but sometimes the job we get paid for gets too much in the way of doing our ministy. How wonderful would it be to get to do minisrty as a full time job. Now, I know this is not an easy request and probably one of the hardest jobs out there but there is nothing more fulfilling or satisfying than working daily for the Lord.

dream job #7

Helping Start Ups

I love to multi-task. I love to have a lot of roles at once, I love to mix up my day and have it be always changing. I think helping different companies start up would be a perfect place for me. I would get a chance to use all of my skills and talents. I have loved working with Wild Canyon Games for that reason, I get to do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. There is a lot that goes into something like that and I think I have the skill set to help out with new projects whether it be a non-profit or not.

dream job #6

Casting Director

I would love to be a casting director- to run auditions, call models in and out, be there while the photographer takes pictures of them, ask them a few questions and send them on their way. I would love to take on the role of the organizer for the day, to keep a detailed, tight schedule and make sure that everyone sticks to it. It kinda seems like a powerful job.

dream job #5

Interior Designer

I have always dreamed of being an interior designer. As you can tell-- since most of my posts on here are about interior design. I love it. I love creating a space, I love re-doing a space, I love everything about it! There are so many ways to go, so many things to choose from. Color or moving furniture can make all the difference.

OKay... maybe not interior designer but.. decorator?? That seems to fit me more. If I hadn't loved UO's campus so much I would have gone to OSU to study Interior Design-- I guess there is a reason that I didn't! I still love it though.

dream job #4

Wedding Planner

so I go back and forth on this one but if I'm thinking ideal - this would be part of my dream job choices. I love weddings. I LOVE them. I love hearing every detail about what a Bride is planning. I had so much fun planning my wedding, I was never stressed, always happy and having a blast! I love the planning and being organized. I am very detail oriented, which I found very helpful for my wedding because I felt like I thought of every single thing necessary. I love being creative and having a vision come to life. I really felt like my wedding was that exactly. It looked, on that day, EXACTLY how I pictured it to look and how I dreamed of it. I couldn't have been happier! I am currently an unpaid intern for 2 of my friends (here and here (<--when I was a new blogger)) getting married this summer. I love helping them get on track with planning or being a soundboard!

dream job #3

Photographer's Assistant

 I was a model as a little girl and fell in love with all that goes on behind the scenes of a photo shoot whether big or small. I have always wanted to be the assistant to the photographer who fixes hairs that are out of place, make sure the clamps are right on the clothes so they look like they fit the model, can grab a comb or prop or anything necessary. Photo shoots are so fun to be at whether it is outside or in a studio, I would love to get to be there all of the time- helping with poses, ideas for location, background, lighting etc. I would love it!!!

dream job #2

Home Organizer

Organizing is seriously a passion of mine. I am sure you will see it being a theme throughout my "dream jobs". Home organizing is something I have loved since I was a little girl. My mom loves it and she passed it on to me. I used to go over to friends houses when I was in elementary school (no joke) and help them rearrange their room, get rid of old clothes, take old toys/books/dolls to goodwill etc. There is something so refreshing about doing this. Cleaning out a closet, getting rid of things that don't make you feel good, it is such a cleansing process not only for your closet but for your soul. I truly believe that when you clean out and organize a space in your home, or your whole home, you will feel so much less stress inside. When you see clutter, junk or trash you feel that inside.

If anyone would like help in this area in their home, I would love to come help, or give you some tips etc!!

how organized is this!? Loves it.

dream job #1

These dream jobs are in no particular order (well the order I want to write about them in..)
*most of the jobs I dream of don't have "titles" ... so bare with me

Events Logistics Coordinator

This has been my passion for the last few years. I first fell in love with event logistics the summer after my senior year of high school. I was interning for CMD in the PR department. One of our assignments for the summer was to run everything media related at the Jeld-Wen Tradition Champions Tour. I got to work with all of the media which was a blast, but I really got to see first hand what it looks like behind the scenes of an event. I absolutely loved it. I love the fast paced, go-get-em, think quick on your feet, problem solve, help people out, get this from here to there, make sure this happens etc. Since then I had a passion for these logistics. I love being organized, detail oriented and hospitable.

I was able to get a certificate in "Festival & Event Management" through the UO where I got to take a few classes on event management, meeting management, festival management as well as take workshop classes on going green in events, getting volunteers, budgeting and food service. Since graduating I was able to work for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and help with a few fundraising events for them. Currently I am the Volunteer Programs Manager for a non-profit in year 2 of an athletic, weekend, fundraiser event called Wild Canyon Games (I'm a volunteer myself).

My dream would be to do this for a living. I loooooooove event logistics.

dream jobs

As many of you know I've been struggling with my job situation for over a year now. I know what I love and what my talents are but they haven't yet seem to align with anything in this world so far. Because I have this conversation a lot people are always asking what I would really love to do. It's a complicated question for me. I am constantly telling people "oh my goodness that would be my dream job!!" or "You know what I really would love to do..."  but the problem is there are MANY things I say this about. Maybe this is (one) reason why it's been so hard for me to be doing something that I love. I love a lot of things and what I've been doing for the last year isn't one of them. I watched the Nanny Diaries the other day and it got me to thinking; I keep doing things that aren't "me".

So over the next few weeks I'm going to be brainstorming what my dream jobs are (mainly for my own thoughts to get organized and try to see if I can figure out more of myself in the process)
