Marilyn's Story
Just starting out here and will add more later but just wanted to let you all know that some of the photos I posted here were when I worked as VIP Press for the Charley Boswell-Bob Hope Golf Classic and The Alabama Sports Hall of Fame for several years in a row (no, I didn't date any of these people...well, maybe one). The last time I was there was in 1996 when I was invited back to the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame as a Special Guest. Had a great time (as always). I met so many interesting people working these functions. Although these functions happened a long time ago, they are still near and dear to my heart as are the friends I made while participating at these various events. And although I live in Florida now, I still yell "ROLL TIDE" and sometimes even, a "WAR EAGLE!"
As far a jobs, well I have done quite a few things. From being a legal secretary, legal assistant, inside sales to outside sales. In fact it was outsides sales that relocated me from Alabama to Florida. I went to work for R. Dakin which was a fortune 500 Company located in San Francisco, California who manufactured gift and other related items that I sold to Hallmarks and other large Department stores. I was with them for over seven years before they went out of business and then I went to work for Aramis, Inc., which is the men's division of Estee Lauder and traveled South Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and...Expand for more
the entire State of Missississippi. This job started out as a part-time position and I got hooked into a full-time one because of my so-called "drive." (truthfully, I don't think that my so-call "drive" had as much to do with it as the fact that they just couldn't find anyone else that liked such a rural territory). Because I didn't mind "greener pastures (lol), I simply got a promotion that I really didn't expect or really want. Although I met some nice people here, I also found quite a few "flakes" in this particular type of business, which (believe me) is not unusual for the health and beauty industry. Estee Lauder is located in New York City, New York. Finally, I obtained the job of my dreams which was to go to work for a fortune 500 company called CCH, Inc. out of Chicago, IL. This company sold legal and tax publishing to accountants, attorneys, cpas and human resource consultants, etc. I really liked this job because I was able to utlilize more of the legal skills that I had learned in the past which was truly where my heart was AND my territory was smaller so I FINALLY got to spend more time at home instead of being on the road; thus, being able to have more personal time and start making stronger and longer lasting personal relationships. Presently. I am now RETIRED. I didn't say RICH, but happily retired.
more to come and i am tired so i will proofread later as well.
