Final Postings - Part Two
I just wanted to briefly say that I enjoyed the class. I feel like I was able to take a lot away from this class and whether or not I go into a management role again....I will at least have the knowledge to help me be more successful in that role. Thanks for a great semester! Have a lovely summer! :D
Final Postings - Part One
I found this article interesting as I was browsing through the Wall Street Journal online....I really enjoy that publication. It has well written articles that cover a variety of subjects. I do find it fascinating to read when I get some free time during the day.
Anyway, the article that caught my eye today was this:
With a new graduating batch of college kids who will be on the prowl for jobs during this season of large unemployment rates, it is interesting to see how picky they would be based on different criteria. Some kids would turn down a job if their employer would not let them take personal calls, or check their personal emails. I will admit that it would be difficult for me to swallow at first; however, if I had just gotten out of college with 4 years of debt under my belt...I wouldn't be too quick to not take a job based on that. I would try and make it work.
It was interesting to see the percentage of graduates who would only stay at a job for a short period of time.....just because they got bored. It is funny b/c I heard many years ago that people end up with about 8 or 9 different career paths in their journey through adulthood. I had a hard time understanding that, since I tend to stay at places for long periods of time. My first real job, I was employed for over 8 years before I left to pursue something different. This current job that I am at right now, I have been employed for almost 5 years. It may be my difficulty with change that makes me stay; although, currently, I can say that I am happily employed and could see myself here for a while longer....barring any unforseen life changes.
Anyway, interesting article in light of graduations all over! :)
