What is your Ultimate Career Lifestyle?

I love working in an environment that is laid back but also has structure. I work great in groups where we can brainstorm marketing ideas and concepts and make them happen. Ultimately I would like to run the marketing department for a company that puts an emphasis on their reputation in the public's eye and uses marketing to reach their goals.

About me:

I am 29 years old and have worked in or studied marketing since 2000. I have held 2 media sales positions and 2 marketing positions in that time period. The only reason there were 2 marketing positions is because I was promoted into the second one. I was laid off in May 2009 due to restructuring of the company and am currently looking for the next step in bettering my career.

On a personal note...I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 miniature dachshunds that are our children for now. The 3 of them are the loves of my life.

My favorite thing about my generation is?

My favorite thing about my generation is having all the information in the world at my fingertips with the internet. The internet really took off when I was about a sophomore in high school but at the time we still learned things like the dewey decimal system and now all I have to do is type in a word or author and can find anything I want
