Looking for a Career!

[Atav20]

Good Afternoon,

I am looking to launch a career in the Destin, Miramar, Fort Walton Beach area. I just recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in Consumer Economics and Housing. Last summer I completed an internship at Seaside as a Guest Service Agent, so I do have some Hospitality experience. Please take a moment and review my other qualifications by looking at my resume' I have pasted below.

Real Estate, Resort and Hospitality, and Recreation are the my top three areas of interests. I am very open to other career areas as well.

What type of job are you really desiring? You mention locations west of south Walton, what about Panama City Beach for the right opportunity?

You may have difficulty finding a hospitality job right now. Early to mid February is generally the hiring period for rental companies and resorts in the area. Of course getting a resume in now isn't a bad idea.

My house is in Fort Walton Beach between Sandestin and Destin. The farthest east I would want to travel would be Seaside.

Understand .. will monitor what I hear about in your geographic preference, Andrew.

Where in Ft. Walton is this?

Perhaps this is a typo, from East to West is SanDestin, Miramar, Destin, and then Ft. Walton.

Have you worked with the career placement office at UGA? Typically college and university career placement offices are happy to work with their graduates. They can edit and improve your resume, help you do a job search wherever you reside, and offer career advice. I would definitely contact them if I were you.

For example, you say that "Web" is one of your skills. Every first grader has some web skills these days. You need to be more specific.

Talk to them and they'll help you out. Good luck!
