Hey Hiring Managers, let's have a candid chat, shall we? 🗣️ Titles may be reduced, but the skill set? Not so much. I've worn the badge of "Regional Marketing Coordinator" in MA/MV, but let's peel back the layers—I was the de facto Marketing Manager, juggling more than the title suggests. 🚀 As a "Brand Ambassador," my role wasn't a one-trick pony. Nope, it was a multifaceted journey where I donned hats as a Social Media Manager, Marketing Coordinator, Budtender, Grow Tour Guide, Staff and Product Photographer, Copywriter/Editor/Producer, Influencer, and Event Coordinator. Phew, that's a mouthful! 🏆 Event-planning extraordinaire? You got it! NECANN, Harvest Cup, PAX East, and other 3-day festivals to grand openings. I've done it all, top to bottom, creating not only elevated experiences and positive reviews from clients, but deliverable metrics that drive future planning efficiency. 💪 But here's the kicker—I'm not just about roles; I'm about leadership. As a Community Leader, I steer a brand ambassador group of +125 MA/RI contacts. Account Managers might have a "little black book," but are they engaging daily in tough conversations about physical/emotional safety, inclusivity, and community trust? That's the emotional labor I'm shouldering! 🌿 Thought the Cannabis Industry was all about growth? Here's a wakeup call, Hiring Managers: It's time to recognize the untapped potential behind the titles. I'm not just smelling the flowers; I'm planting seeds for a thriving, inclusive future. 💼 So, the next time you see a resume, dig deeper. Don't let titles cloud the brilliance within. I'm here, ready to bring more than what meets the eye. Let's cultivate growth together. 🌱🌟 https://lnkd.in/e3n6sVPZ #UntappedPotential #BeyondTitles #CannabisIndustry #RealSkillsRealTalk #massachusetts #hiringalert #forhire #opentowork #opentoconnect #opentoopportunities #cannabisbusiness #cannabismarketing 🌿💡
