Another Year Draws to a Close.....

Here it is the last week of 2008. Amazing how fast time flies. This morning I reminded my boss that it was one year ago that sh rehired me to my old position. Seems like only last month.
Lots has ensued in the past twelve months. The company has downsized due to the decision not to be a branded vacation wholesaler. This move will allow Future Vacations to operate more easily. With the brand contracts, the company was restricted in operations, even within our own brand. Now we can offer cruises and all the necessary side items like flights, hotels, and transfers. Previously the brands had separate cruise operations that we could not infringe on. Currently software is being researched to book everything in one convenient package.
With the downsizing of the company, some employees were thrust into the reality of today's economic times. Even with companies experiencing a downtown, there are still jobs out there for people willing to work. Job.travel has plenty to offer across the country at all levels of experience. Maybe a 're-inventing' may be necessary, and altering a resume to stress particular talents will be needed. Sometimes getting laid off is the start of a whole new career. In fact, that is how I switched from food service to travel, and I enjoy it immensely.
