I pivoted from the event industry into administration in an effort to reclaim my nights/weekends. Not only has it been lovely to have regular weekends, but my event skills have been highly applicable to administrative work: client interfacing/consulting, proposal creation, scheduling, creativity, research and development, and constant introduction to/learning of new technologies.
I've gained accounting experience, exposure to different industries, practiced negotiating terms/services with vendors, and hosted a plethora of fabulous office events, of course.
As I continune my administrative journey, I've found a passion for project management, which I hope to delve into further.
