Discussion 34: What are you looking for?

Job Club Heart of Texas, Job Search | 67 comments

Most people are looking for work because they are in need of money. Many people look for a job because they want to explore new experiences and find themselves. Some people look for a certain type of job because its fashionable (i.e. interior decorating. photography, etc.)
Reality is that an individual needs to look for a job that fits their individual personality, their family’s needs and one that suits their skill level. Money should be the last thing on your list.
Money is simply a pacifier, it can only get you so far. As human beings, our work should mean more than a paycheck. We should feel successful and confident in our choice. So tell us, what kind of job are you looking for? Any specifics? Why do you feel like this job will suit you?

    Good morning!

    I am looking for an accounting job, because that is what I majored in at college, I am quite good at it and I enjoy doing it – mostly.

    Have a blessed day!

    Good morning everyone, Susan Wade here. I think you look for different things in a job/career depending on the stage of your life. When you are young, sometimes money is the only consideration. For some people, this never changes. Some are lucky to find their “dream job” early on and continue with this course. For others, a change can come with the loss of a job and a change of course. This happened to me when I returned to school and my original choice of career in nursing. Now, I would just like a job similar to my last one in a medical office.

    Good morning everyone and best of luck.
    I am looking for a job in outside sales.
    Possibly if the job had potential, I would consider management in the restaurant industry. Problem with the
    restaurant industry is that they work you 70-80 hours.

    I am searching for a position to expand my career in Supply Chain Management & Continuous Improvement. Companies internally label this with a variety of titles such as Materials Management, Procurement, Inventory Management, Buyer Planner & Logistics.

    I am a detail oriented person & enjoy the challenge of working with a wide range of individuals from vendors, engineers, marketing, operations & quality to the assembly person to achieve efficiencies in the supply chain and ultimately make or increase the profit margin for the company I represent, while meeting or exceeding our customer’s expectations.

    My work history & previous success demonstrate competence in this career choice. I look forward to learning & growing with a new company.

    Good Morning all! I am looking for a job which is satisfying both mentally & creatively. I have had jobs that I detested going to work every day & want to avoid that again, it just does not last. I enjoy the landscaping business from a residential perspective & have done research & found it is in demand now more than ever. Wish me luck in that endeavor. Jeffrey Gregoire

    This is probably my biggest problem. Identifying the job I would enjoy. As a retired military officer (flier), I find most jobs lacking in some way. Mostly the thrill of the chase type thing. I guess it was the adrenaline rush I miss.

    I am looking for a position that will benefit from my skills as a graphic designer with strong experience in packaging, print and pre-press. That will use my expertise in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Companies title these jobs in many different ways: Art Director, Graphic Designer, Graphic Design Production, Preflight Specialist, Communications Manager, Marketing Director, Packaging Specialist.

    I am still noticing an uptick with job listings, every week there seems to be an increase in what’s available out there. We each only need ONE job.

    I would most like a job counseling adolescents full time. Although I would do counseling full time (with adults, children, or adolescents).

    I was offered a job yesterday and accepted for the position I interviewed last Monday. It is contingent upon the background check (and I have to wait until it comes back). It is not necessarily your standard full time job since it is a “per diem” job, but I am already scheduled for 3 12-hour shifts per week and I am paid an amount per shift and then per callout. I will be allowed to pick up extra shifts when they may come available.

    at one time, money was the number one factor. The older I get, the more it is less a factor. I don’t have the financial burden that I had when I was younger so I have a little freedom in being able to do what I feel I’m geared for.

    Hello Everyone, what a great topic. It is very imporant that you love what you do. What happen is that you be at a job at so long that you are just there for a check and that is not good. You must love what you do even if it is a pay cut.

    Hello Job clubbers,
    Sheila Parrish here, I am loved the job that I had and I am currently looking to change my profession. Still in the medical office but on the medical side instead of the business management side. Hopefully the training that I am going through now will be a big success and I will be in that dream job soon.

    I cannot believe that I just lost everything that I had typed! Well, here we go, again. Ionia Jones, reporting; I would like to work in the classroom as an assistant or as a substitute(I applied for the sub job at WISD last week). I worked for 13 years as a secretary, and would love to do that again. I would like to use some of the crafting skills that I have received over these many years and, maybe turn it into a little business venture.

    Getting off the subject for a minute, I read an interesting article about new ways that employers are getting their new employees. Hope that we can revisit that subject on JobClub sometimes down the future.

    I am, also, interested in taking some of the computer training that Workforce is attempting to start up. Will I need to contact someone at the office or is my stating my interest here, enough?

    Good responses this week, see you next week. Have a good one!!!!

    Carolyn Walter here. In the days we are trying to survive in, money is an important issue. But, in order to “want” to go to work, you must love your job and get along with co-workers.
    I am confident in the bookkeeping skills I have learned on my own by running an office for our own business. Building everything from ground up. I like the atmosphere in an office. At the same time, since I have been unemployed I have been able to do some crafting and sewing, this is a hobby of mine but I could see it turning into something profitable if I put my items out there to be seen.
    I am confident in the skills I have but am not comfortable in large crowds.
    Hope everyone has a good day and Good Luck in the job hunting.

    I see myself as someone who is looking for something that will pay bills for now(I know it’s a poor attitude to have) but hope that I will find something I will be happy enough with to stay with for an extended length. The type of work I would like to find is either working with parts sales or as a service advisor at a car dealership or other service center.

    I am looking for a position that would use my computer skills. My main background is in graphic design, so Adobe Creative Suite Illustrator and Photoshop are strong suits. I’ve done a lot of Powerpoint presentations. My typing skills are very strong, 78 wpm tested. I know my way around Microsoft Word and Powerpoint.
