Summary

I just got divorced after being married for 20 years I'm 40 I'm looking for a job that I can make my career I'm a little nervous about getting back into the work field after not being employed since 2008 .my husband would have gatherings at our house because we both loved two entertain. our friends and coworkers would have the best time and I didn't even have to try it just came natural to me . And the best part of it is that I don't do it for them I do it because it makes me happy to make people happy that's why I feel that I could do this job without even trying I have a natural eye for detail and I always go the extra mile to make sure that everybody leaves with a smile on their face now if I could take all that and make it a career that would be a dream come true.
