Did I Mention a New Career?

On July 3rd I made a very hard decision to leave ServiceNoodle and accept a thrilling position with Cars.com.  Three years with ServiceNoodle, it's owner and his family, my co-workers and my clients were all very hard to say goodbye too.  I loved the work and the quality products that I served my clients but time for a change to an industry specific position had come in my life.  I cannot express how much the work at ServiceNoodle has taught me about the advertising industry, digital media and the way that consumers search and shop online.  I feel as though God prepared me through my work at ServiceNoodle to be ready for Cars.com.

My first month at Cars.com was spent on the road riding with peers in Milwaukee, attending training in Chicago and attending the Cars.com annual Summit in Chicago.  I snapped a couple of photos of the grand stage at our Summit.  When Cars.com does something, they certainly do it up right!

I couldn't believe how large and in charge the stage area was!  Everywhere I turned there was Purple everywhere.  Charging station/kiosk in every corner of the ballroom too which proved very handy to this gal.

Our first night was the kickoff which include Game Night.  Our MC's for the night stood up above the ballroom full of blackjack tables, poker tables, and all the other Vegas games that I have no clue what their names were!  We had food stations all over the place which ranged from desserts to appetizers.

Lunch everyday was an amazing spread worthy of dinner in my book. We stayed at the Hilton on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago.  Everything was top notch everywhere you turned.

As of today, I have been with Cars.com for 3 months.  It's been fast and furious but at a different pace than what I was doing which is what my goal was when I took this position.  I love the company culture and the team spirit.  I have friends from Pennsylvania, Milwaukee, Topeka to Tennessee who I can call for ANY question and they are happy to help.  We have another get together in Chicago right before Christmas for our year end celebration of awards.  Golly Miss Molly, it will be fun!
