Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have the perfect career, or how to even begin finding one? The truth of the matter is, like most people, I didn’t know where to begin. But after eight years at the Chamber of Commerce, there is no question I have the absolute best job I never knew I wanted. Every day I get to see business leaders in action and most days I get to meet new people. I get to learn about how their businesses work, and help them network with other businesses in the community. This helps them grow and increases profits, which allows them to create new jobs. Seeing the community thrive gives me pride in my work. So, what could be better than that? For me, this is the best job in the world.

I’m Julie Blaylock, and I oversee the local Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber serves hundreds of regional business members from all over Knox and surrounding counties. Our mission is to strengthen, promote and create business opportunities through relationships and education that encourage member success. I am excited to contribute to Cityview’s new business section and bring you information on the local business community. I’m on the forefront of what is changing in local business and will be sharing it in this series. If you have any ideas, feel free to shoot me an email at julie@farragutchamber.com or give me a call at the chamber at 865-675-7057.
