Summary
I find my self at a crossroads, I have immensely enjoyed working for myself and with my husband however we find ourselves craving something more.... consistent. I also miss having "work friends" and a discernable goal set by someone else. I have a rather wide-ranging skill set, I am a very fast learner and am extremely comfortable with all manner of tech. Give me a shot, you will not regret it!! I would prefer working remotely at home, as I have consistent high speed Internet connectivity, a laptop, a tablet and as I mentioned before I am extremely tech savvy so I can accommodate all manner of work from home scenarios.
