Career meme thingy

[weaselmom]

There'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.

As vali_dog would say, Bye!

I may need to pick your brain about the trainer experience and moving forward from it. I have a friend who has been a trainer for comcast for the last several years, and needs to get away from there desperately but has no clue who to retranslate those skills so they have a wider appeal. Think you might be able to lend a paw?

AND... I still have cookbooks for you that are made of easy, awesome, yum, and win. :)

Oh there most certainly are medical records professionals. A guy I dated in high school is married to a professor who teaches medical records. Yes, it is university material, of all things. He's a more traditional English professor. Anyway, I know of at least two Universities that have departments for medical records.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

4. Corporate Trainer (Well, duh)
5. Website Designer (Wonder where it got this?)
6. Director of Photography (I wouldn't mind learning)
7. Multimedia Developer (insane)
8. Film Editor (I did some of this on Mark's films and LOVED it).
9. Critic (What fun!)
10. Motivational Speaker (Tee hee)

Others that made the list:

I know this is off topic for this post, but please tell me:
What color is your favorite purse? What other colors do you like?

Hey there! My purse (I only have one - don't tell the other girls or they'll kick me out of the club) is black. Other favorite colors are the jewel tones - garnet, sapphire, amethyst, emerald. I think it's because I'm a Winter!
