[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you write? What about doing proposal work? Being a part time writer that understands the sales cycle, and understands how to "sell" a company in writing, might be a good opportunity. I occasionally see the bug companies look for PT proposal folks and I bet smaller companies would be interested in occasional surge support.[/quote]

Thank you. That's an intriguing suggestion.  It would be a shade better than bookkeeping. :)  I'm a people person who is happiest when leading a workshop (especially if I designed it).  But it's something to consider - thank you for the suggestion![/quote]

Ahh ok. Facilitation or training is something I definitely think you could look into. Much different than being an Account Exec. I don't think it's conducive to sick kids and snow days when a workshop is scheduled, but I do believe your work life balance will overall be better. My perception is what may be offered as part-time BD work will really be full time, and it will be very frustrating that you won't be properly compensated.

Have you looked at teaching facilitation skills? That may be a good way to get your foot in the door. It might be a course that you could teach on the non credit side at NOVA. A few of these sessions could help boost your resume. I've also recently seen some adds looking for facilitators. If I can find them again I'll post the links for you. Also perhaps taking a few ISD classes will refresh your resume.

One more thought since you like leading workshops. ITIL trainers are a hot commodity right now. Is that something you'd consider doing after being certified?[/quote]
