Hi flyertalkers, my name is Jason. I know this is a long shot, it looks like this thread is not even very active anymore, but hey it does not hurt to try right ?
Look I will try to keep this brief. I'll come right out and say I lack formal job experience. I mean my resume is pretty much nothing. I was a stay at home dad for a long time. Sadly things in my life have changed and I am going to be divorced and un-attached to anything soon. Looking to completely start over. So for the right opportunity I would be willing to relocate basically anywhere.
I guess all I am looking for is a chance to prove myself, someone to take a chance on me and see what I can do. I have some education, I sadly never got my bachelors but I do have an associates degree in business management. Most of what I know is just self taught. I taught myself computers and technology at a young age. So I can build a PC from scratch, and I of course know my way around programs and the internet. Mostly though I love the travel world and that is why I thought I would give posting here on flyertalk a shot. Because I thought if anyone would understand who I am and what I know it would be a fellow flyertalker. I mean I am very into this whole world. I read here on FT of course and I read all the major blogs and follow everyone on twitter, etc. I of course have done a lot of traveling myself and booked plenty of paid and award travel. So I am extremely familiar with all the airlines and hotels and their programs and obviously I am strong at geography, airport codes, currency, etc, all the things that go with traveling.
Because of that knowledge the job I really see myself in is something travel related. I think I would be great as some kind of travel agent or something along those lines. If a company needed someone to oversee booking travel for employees and such I would be outstanding at finding the deals and understanding all that. I could also see myself as some kind of personal assistant. Are you a business person that travels a lot and needs someone to keep you organized and maybe travel with you? I could certainly do that.
Those are just some ideal things though. I realize that with no experience (aside from my just saying I know it, which I do, but obviously employers want more) it is difficult for me to find work in the fields I want. I have of course searched for jobs but I am always stuck when it gets to the experience part in the description. So I guess I am just asking if anyone here could help out, if anyone would be willing to take a chance on someone like me. I would be open to most any kind of work, just PM me. I am currently located in Ohio so Any FT's here I would love to hear from you. Again though I would be willing to relocate about anywhere even if its not a job that is anything real special pay wise.
