About The Author

 
I have toiled over the topic for this next piece for about two weeks…pardon the absence. I wish I had some magic words of wisdom other than what I have talked about but let me let you in on my personal story for the past few weeks. I have spent a lot of time in my search for a position. I have collated packages to mail and spent a lot of money and time on sending to all of the teams I felt might be in the market for a representative for either sponsor or driver representative in a public relations field. I have shown my dedication and done all of what I think are the right moves to obtain a position. I felt that my experience with an agency for two years and five years at a media outlet in a development position would enhance my opportunities. Not so much. I fight the same things everyone does in seeking a position within the NASCAR industry. It is a good old boys network. It takes friends and some inside information. I have both but I continue to look. I even had one unnamed team send back my information. Wow. That was interesting. It is still a challenge every single day. Like I said in my initial article if you cannot take the agony of defeat over and over then this field is not for you. I pick myself back up and charge ahead to whomever will listen. The hiring season is short in NASCAR so make ever minute count. I have to say having been around the industry for the past six months it can be very frustrating but it has made my resolve much more intense. I am one of the lucky ones…I have the shops all just around the corner because my husband believed in me so much that he accepted a position here in North Carolina. I got the chance to be close to what I love. I have taken my heart and laid it on the line and let me say it has been hard to do at times but well worth the battle. I must admit I get frustrated but keep my hopes focused on my future. When someone asks me what I want for Christmas my answer is simple "I want to work in the industry I love" so Santa, bring me a NASCAR job. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
