CCG Foundations 02: How Classy Career Girl started

When I first started my blog, ClassyCareerGirl.com, in 2010, I wanted to create a place to share what I wish I would have known when I graduated from college. I was a few years out of college and feeling stuck at work and stressed out. It didn’t help that I was also in debt, overweight and miserable.  I needed change badly.   I remember what it was like when I was stuck in a job I hated. I wasn’t happy and fulfilled in my career and it was keeping me up at night.  I was so stuck and I would apply to jobs over and over again online with no luck. Monster.com and it was my best friend at that time even though I absolutely hated online job searching. I just didn’t fit in my job.     I would literally come home crying to my husband and some weekends I just couldn’t relax because all I could think of was work and how I needed to get out of there and how much I dreaded Monday and didn’t want to face what was on my plate on Monday morning. I knew I had more potential than my day job.
