Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: cohousing and career change

[eileen mccourt (emccourt]

My 4 years of cohousing development experience is on my resume and has had a
positive influence on my transition to non-profit management from Silicon
Valley corporate management and the two jobs I have held since leaving
Silicon Valley.  It has garnered interviews for HUD and local government
housing program management positions.  I have parlayed it into financial
management, project management, contracts negotiations, partnership
relationship management, marketing and community development.

Subject: [C-L]_ cohousing and career change

Hello,

I am at a point in my life where I am actively pursuing career change.
 Purely coincidently, I am also starting up a new cohousing
development.  My question is whether having been involved in a
cohousing development has afforded you skills, abilities, or even
accreditation(s) that you have been able to effectively use as the
basis for a new career, or a new career path?  I am equally interested
to hear from those using their new skills as employees and as
self-employed professionals, especially those with a technical
background.

Thanks!
