elusivek[Error: unknown template qotd]I really don't think "Career" is such a big thing, unless you work requires a specific "skill".
What I mean is, for me, as an Admin or an Assistant, "Career" isn't that big a work. Paperwork? Count on me. Supplies par stock levels? Count on me. IT has no time to come fix your PC? Come on, you could have asked me for troubleshooting first. Copier machine not working? I'm here to help. Need a reservation somewhere? I have the number to call. Your dishwasher at home is kaput? Of course I know someone to get it done. You need to bind this report? Yes, I have a bookbinder. You need someone to be at the office to serve coffee and tea over the weekend? Of course I can come, since you asked me in the last minute. You need someone to drive you to the airport? I'll command the transport fleet at work. If no one's working, I'll drive you in my own car too!
My job encompasses so many things, I guess I can probably work anywhere. I don't really have a dream job. Well, if I could, of course I'd love to work somewhere dog/animal related, or books related. But these don't pay well. I need a well-paid job so that I can go on holidays, buy books, take care of the dogs, etc....
I've actually got at least 3 job offers in the past 2 years, but I'm just not interested to change. I know my way around this company, people know me, I know people, so why jump into an all-new environment and have to go build up connections again? You may say that I'm being lazy, and maybe I am, but work is stable, pay is good, there is no need to change jobs just yet.
So, I'm here to stay for a little more.
