Do you like your Job?

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 5:17 pm

Was just thinking about this topic...

By like, i mean, is it something you enjoy doing? or is it something you do only because you need to get paid...

List the things you like... then the things you dont like... and wether overall you love your job and would be happy doing it for a career (I.e. rest of your life)

Audio Visual & IT Support tech for Charles Sturt University, I like it as its a relaxed workplace, great fringe benefits (CSU only buys top spec models of current cars for hire at 13cents a km, great when your car is in the shop) and much better pay than most places for the same role.

Got the job by walkin in in a suit armed with a kick arse interview skillz and a lot of confidence...

Also, Another benefit of my line of work...

Being as we have to be very confident at work, a lot of the younger female customers love it... Have had plenty of offers from some very decent sorts in the past 12 months...

Taken up 2 of them so far....

God luck someone beating that for an unexpected perk of the job...

My work is school.

Year 9 work is absolute bullshit when you look at it all.

I work with some great people, I work for some absolute wuckfits and the work I do is unfulfilling, I am an assistant team leader in a factory... that's why I am studying part time

I work in the coffee industry been in it for 5 years. I am the spare parts and service managers, and from time to time the technical adviser

Like;
- The industry
- The People
- The unlimited free coffee I get (you can not get sick of it)
- The all round buzz of the place

Dislike ;

I work in health policy in Scotland

Like -

Freedom to fanny about across the country
Get to meet loads of interesting people but only taken up 2 offers in 6 years so cant beat Sam

Dislike -

Train to office most days (hour there and back)
Boss who is a condesending old biddy
Not paid enough

Given the health of the Scottish people though, I have a job for life (although that life will proably be ten years shorter than you guys

)
