Objectives: To reside in happy, healthy, and functional surroundings which offer greatest potential for my freedom and well being with the most room for personal growth

Professional Experience:

(July 2004 – present) Delena Global, a subdivision of iGoddess Inc.
Job Title: Independent Goddess Consultant
Duties:
- Owning my womanhood
- Reclaiming independence
- Being slave to no business other than my own
Status: Delena Global is small. Output still exceeds income, but such is to be expected in the early days of an independent small business. Overhead is negligible, considering there is only one employee. Vacations, weekends, and overtime/holiday pay is nonexistent. Unlimited potential for growth, income, and philanthropy, however possibility of acquiring new partner is nil. iGoddess Inc. is not into acquisitions.

(April 2003 – July 2004) *N* International
Job Title: Beloved/Rebound
Duties:
- Learning to face myself
- Questioning, challenging myself, growing in wondrous ways
- Learning lessons in evaluating if I'm worth being taken advantage of
Reason for leaving: Took pre-agreed hiatus for medical reasons. Work environment was non-conducive to mental stability, and medical leave-of-absence was requested. Involuntarily terminated without severance pay, or even a chance to clean out my desk. Miscommunication and assumptions on both sides contributed to final breakdown of employment. Re-dedication to job was met with flat refusal, and *N* Int’l was already interviewing to replace my position. Seriously considered self-employment.

Duties:

- Maintaining positive outlook while situations become more bleak
- Maintain super-human levels of cheer while basic emotional needs are ignored
- Expected to keep healthy ego and self-respect while meaningful and cherished items, activities, and people are dropped in order to fulfill other duties until job and life are indistinguishable
- Adjusted to incorporate additional staff member at great detriment to physical health
- Fulfill all expected duties, in addition to partner's duties, without appreciation
- Routinely adopt additional tasks not in job description without complaint
Reason for Leaving: Extreme dissatisfaction with position, disillusionment, and work environment was a threat to mental and emotional stability. Receiving little respect at the corporate level, taken for granted, and requests for additional funding and routine maintenance of basic emotional and human needs went ignored. My name wasn't even on the company header.
