Career meme thingy
Sep. 13th, 2007 12:36 pmThere's a career meme thingy making the rounds, so I took it while waiting for a task to finish.
1. Computer Trainer (Huh... which I used to do as part of my living)
2. ESL Teacher (Meh - although I was an adult literacy tutor)
3. Professor (Meh, and it disappeared when it found out I don't have university education)
4. Researcher (Suitably vague, but a bit meh)
5. Political Aide (This was interesting because I don't know what a political aide does. Back in the day I worked on campaign materials and wrote a ballot measure, and my causes won, so that may say something. Or not.)
6. Writer (See above, except honestly I can't write and don't know how this got in here)
7. Health Records Professional (Are there some?)
8. Corporate Trainer (I think this got rated lower because I negatoried the "travel around" question. But I used to do this for a living!)
9. Administrative Assistant (Have done this for a million years, when I wasn't doing #8. God, this is depressing.)
10. Technical Writer (Have done some of this too!)
11. Critic (I like to think of it as a calling, really)
And then it's dull and downhill from here. Not enough questions about working with animals, if you ask me. Not once did they ask if I'd like a career involving playing with cute little forest creatures. Clearly their methodology is flawed. Then I plugged in my skills and got thoroughly depressed. Need to go eat lunch first - might help, can't hurt.

vali_dog would say, Bye!
