Jun. 12th, 2008 07:14 pmI'm not cut out for corporate culture.
I've been looking at the job listings today, after doing the rounds of some favorite places (Book People, Epoch, Jerry's, Book Woman, etc.) and learning that the jobs there are already taken for the summer, poke back in in August. I have good, employable skills - medical records experience, bankruptcy experience, technical support (uck) experience. But thinking about that corporate rollercoaster makes me feel ill. I don't know where best to apply. Doesn't any office anywhere have a stack of fish files, medical records that consolidated for cases, research that needs done - and just needs it done without necessarily ever seeing the employee who does it? I know, pipe dream. Everything would get done each week, just not between 8 and 6, because I suck at that type of regular schedule. It messes up my body, it wears me out, I get burned out.
Some of you I know work less conventional jobs - how would I go about finding one? Something with some degree of flexibility that doesn't involve being on the phone constantly?
