May is National Share a Story Month.
So here is my story...
Working my way up the career ladder of digital marketing, until redundancy reared its ugly head.
Maternity and baby no. 1 followed.
Back to work in marketing and project management, still forging ahead with my career.
Then came maternity and baby no.2
Like many mums, childcare costs came in to play, so a longer career break was needed.
But, not to be deterred, I was back 2 years later as a digital marketing contractor and, finally, the holy grail for , a part time local online marketing role.
But no. It wasn't to be and redundancy reared its head again.
Maternity and baby no.3 and time to try .
Why am I telling you all of this?
Like many mums who leave the workplace or who have a sporadic working history I lost track of my worth.
is a big thing to overcome. But what I realised, experience matters.
The experience gained in marketing, in other roles and in my personal life.
And that experience is valuable.
It's what makes me a good marketer, able to understand businesses and help them on their marketing journey.
So my question is, what's your story?
What makes you different?
