Big Change in Career

Updated 7/21/2007
A lot has changed in the last seven months since Evolution Multimedia went under and left me jobless. I'm not going to get into the details but I will say the following:

• I hate Microsoft
• There are only Microsoft jobs around Central Illinois where I live
• I hate Microsoft
• I had a few job offers that required me to move > 600 miles

My decision is final. I will not be moving to chase a job into the big city. I've worked out and accepted a career plan working for my family farm. My father, Gary Emel hired me as a farm hand 3 weeks after EMC closed. Since then I've experienced a huge change in my work tasks. I've gone from sitting in a 70 degree office to a hot and humid shop that is not temperature controlled.

The career change I've made is drastic, but I've really learned to respect and develop pride while working for my family farm. I am overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge both my father and grandfather posess. Words cannot describe my pride and commitment while listening to my grandfather talk about the old days. I use

As of Friday January 12th 2007 I no longer have a job. Evolution Multimedia closed their doors and laid everyone off, around 20 people. We had no warning that company wide layoffs were impending and therefore couldn't prepare for the event. I really enjoyed working for EMC, the people I worked with, and the work I did. I will truly miss working there.

The facts have finally sunk in and I need to move on and try to find another job. I've been working on my resume, portfolio, and a few other items. I've started to make a list of jobs I would be interested in. Hopefully I'll be able to find something similar to my old job without having to move.
