It’s a humbling experience being laid off for a second time.
After my time at Flyhomes came to an end in November 2022, and following 7 harrowing months applying to and interviewing for jobs, I was hired as a Project Service Coordinator at California Closets. Here I spent another 7 months taking care of customers and learned the ins and outs of the day-to-day operations for arguably one of the most reputable custom closets and storage solutions companies in the nation (next to Closets, Closets, Closets, Closets — of course).
Recently, my fellow team members and I were informed that our positions were eliminated due to a company change in operation strategy. We were all shocked.
While transitions like these can be challenging, I'm incredibly grateful for the experiences and opportunities I had during my short tenure and I look forward to the day I can look back on this moment and see it for the stepping stone that it is.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to California Closets, especially to my amazing manager, Kiersea Reynolds. Her mentorship was truly invaluable, and she provided an environment where I felt valued, respected, and appreciated. Kiersea's guidance encouraged me to explore my natural strengths and areas for growth, challenging me to step outside my comfort zone to embrace the leader I aspire to become.
As I look ahead towards my next opportunity, I'm excited about the prospect of finding fulfilling roles either as an operations manager at an early-stage startup, where I can leverage my diverse industry experience to contribute to its growth and success, or as an operations associate, coordinator, or generalist within a more established organization. I would also love the opportunity to lead a team again, whether thats in operations, customer success, or elsewhere.
I'm eager to start the next chapter in my professional career and to find a new home where I can contribute my skills and expertise, and ultimately, lay down roots for the long term. So I reach out to you, and my greater LinkedIn network, hoping that this message will help me uncover my next opportunity. If you're aware of any opportunities or have leads to share, your support and referrals would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you all for being a part of my journey thus far. I'm excited for what the future holds and look forward to connecting with many of you soon.
