Back In The Vault, With A Twist

Dena's been back in the work force as an employee for the last few weeks now.

It all started through her Kiwanis connections, where she met Barb Quick who served as a marketing director for First Farmers State Bank. Freelancing Dena offered to be an outsource vendor and filled several graphic design needs for posters, calendars, fliers and the like.

Barb moved on from FFSB, and for financial reasons they considered downsizing the position to part-time. Whoever they hired might or might not have decided to continue to use Dena.

Or, FFSB could just hire Dena! Thanks in part to Barb's recommendation, she got an interview, and impressed enough to get the job.

It seems like a true win-win. Dena gets supplemental steady income, and gets to continue her freelance work during her off days. FFSB saves some money on the position, and gets continuity of its graphic design work. Dena inherits a marketing plan from Barb, giving her time to develop her skills in this new field. FFSB gets a marketing director with over ten years of small bank experience, including as a junior officer.

And who knows? Maybe they'll need some raw yet promising voice over talent at a bargain basement price.
