As long as I can remember people always asked what I wanted to be when I grow up. Numerous answers and many years later, I am still unsure. I want to do about 15 different jobs. Right now, however, I don't do any of the above. And now is when it counts the most.
I have been unemployed for almost 6 months now. I had worked at the same place for over 8 years. I have my college degree from a reputable school, and can still be considered a 'recent graduate.'
Many things come to mind when I think of my ideal job – but not a job title. I want a job where I don't have to directly deal with people. I'd like a job in which I can be part of a team and work on the computer. I enjoy working in systems and research. I enjoy children and writing.
Previous employment was mostly in aquatics. I was a lifeguard, a swim instructor, a coordinator and director for the department. I've had supervisory and lead trainer experience. I don't want to work in aquatics – it's boring and I am done with that phase. As my mother says, it was my job to get me through school (and that took me 7 years).
And thus the job search continues with no starting point or compass.
