What field of work are you in?

[Teacher Mark 53]

1) What kind of work do you do? Truck Driver.

2) What do you love and hate about your particular profession and organization? Where do I start? I guess with the positive. No one is really hassling me, except D.O.T, local cops, State Police, ignorant drivers (both Professional and regular), etc., etc. I do like the fact that I am moving alot. I am in a specialized portion of the industry (entertainment), so I get to see the towns that I am in. Before I gained the 2 years experience that was necessary for this job I would simply move from loading dock to loading dock. With this job I go to a venue and stay downtown (sometimes in a hotel, most times in the truck).

3) Would you recommend your profession and/or organization to others? Not just no, but h^&* no! The company I work for is pretty cool, but this industry is over regulated, underpaid, and taxing on the human soul!

4) Are you hiring? Our company is always looking for qualified drivers and the trucking industry is always looking for pigeons. If ANYONE who reads this post is thinking about doing this for a living do yourself a favor and PM me.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

1) What kind of work do you do?

Global Securities and Funds Services

2) What do you love and hate about your particular profession and organization?

It's fast-paced, interesting, challenging and leaves much room to move things around and shake things up. If working for the right organization, it can be very rewarding. It offers lots of opportunity for growth and allows for adequate work-life balance. The place I currently work for, I've worked in better and I've worked in worse organizations.

3) Would you recommend your profession and/or organization to others?

Yes, I have time and again.

4) Are you hiring? wink.gif

Yes.

1) What kind of work do you do?

2) What do you love and hate about your particular profession and organization?

3) Would you recommend your profession and/or organization to others?

4) Are you hiring?

Please feel free to add other details!

1) healthcare-finance

2) I love problem solving.

I hate supervising older women who resent that fact (just being honest) but, this is a problem at any organization I have worked at. I hate having to rely on the state for results/answers

I love that this agency actually knows what they are doing and I can take pride that we are providing quality patient care

3) I would recomend working for the company.. my profession? its takes a certain kind of person to deal with finance/compliance :shrug:

4) perhaps pretty soon, we'll see

I've only had little ol parttime jobs, still in school, but right now I'm working for the Jewish Studies Center (none of the students working there are Jewish ) at the College as basically an office worker, specialty meant to be drafting letters and please give us money grants and articles and biographies and stuff like that Also get to work the events they do which are pretty regular and kind of fun; today worked the Sunday brunch and lecture thing where 100+ cute old people show up to eat lots of bagels and nasty smoked salmon it's so nasty why does everyone like it

I've worked a few summers of a commission door to door job too for a fundraising company, contracted to raise money for fire departments and EMS. Most people think that's terrifying but it's tons of fun, meet crazy people and very nice people

And in high school I worked at Subway a couple years That was awesome.

Those are my jobs, and I've liked them all. I'm an English major, communications minor, so I'd say my area or field is going to be like...Unemployment I figure I'm set for an entry level position at just about anywhere but kind of useless in anything specialized so I'm just like whooo whatever at the moment. When I graduate I'm just going home and gonna start applying to places to see what's out there. Might go back to grad school if I'm not happy in a year or two. My problem's always been that I'm kind of interested in everything so I have trouble narrowing down what I'd like without having had the experience yet. Number 1 have always wanted to be a fiction writer since I was a little girl - would love to write for shows or games or film or magazines or newspapers or journals or anything like that, as far as I can predict

SO has his degree in Computer Science and is currently getting his masters in video game design xD What a jerk.

I'm in a similar boat--i'm a russian language and literature major. My so is a video game developer. The i-330 is kind of hilarious, because obviously he is a better position to get a good-paying job.

In the midst of the craziness of getting the visa for Ritesh and finding him a good job in IT, I am starting to think about my own job options when we go back - especially in the current market... I have been working in corporate training and teaching (sales/marketing, inter-cultural, and language) most of my life, and I love designing curriculum, actually teaching and working with participants - but am not a huge fan of corporate politics... Luckily, Ritesh will probably not have too many problems finding a good job fairly quickly and we have some money saved, so I am going to take a few months to settle in and look around - 'see what's on the menu' so to speak.

[Dr. Obvious 49]

1) Administrative assistant at a successful biomedical engineering firm.

2) There are so many different things to learn. I like that the job does actually have opportunity for advancement in this firm and that the skills I learn are transferable to other places. The job is pretty low stress and the duties varied. I like it.

3) Sure. What is there not to like about playing ping pong in your office?

4) I am not sure if they found who they needed or not yet. It is a small company (11 people).
