Pah! I don't know about that but back ...Skills? Pah! I don't know about that but back at PwC we took a "StrengthsFinder 2.0" test, which you can find online although I think it costs about a tenner. Then of course the career coach helped to sharpen things up.<br /><br />It sounds like you're being treated like cattle over there. I hope you're stealing plenty of pens Fizz. You're definitely not alone in having to jump through hoops when it comes to things like goal-setting. Are your managers at least pretty accepting of whatever you write or do they ever challenge you about it?<br /><br />The note taking job... I need to give them some documents as proof of address. I don't actually have any apart from my lodger agreement and a mobile phone bill, neither of which are what they're asking for but hopefully there's a way around it.<br />Profound Familiarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327758193177032803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911650226122086220.post-40843493755048123002018-02-02T21:08:19.974+00:002018-02-02T21:08:19.974+00:00I wish I had some of your skills for identifying t...I wish I had some of your skills for identifying things you like connected to jobs and work.<br />I have to list my ‘Goals’ every 6 months at work. I hate it and know it’s an utter waste of not only my time, but the companies as well.<br />If you multiply the time it takes for me to cobble together a load of words that soothe our managers, which I presume ‘prove’ it’s all worth it, when I know it’s utterly useless in any real sense, by the total number of employees that feel exactly the same way as me (which is practically everyone I’ve ever worked with) that’s a lot of time, and time is money.<br />I just wish someone could explain to me why I have to explain my goals when I have none other getting through the day as enjoyably as possible given the restraints of my circumstances. <br />What makes it worse is that all the managers know it’s a load of bollocks (my last managers words) but it just has to be done.<br />WHY! That’s all I want to know. WHY!!!<br />Anyway I’ve had a rubbish day at work. All our teams have been split up and ‘reorganised’ and we’re all pissed off. <br />I have no idea what it’s achieved but I’m assuming it looks good on the managers reports. <br />Change for changes sake.<br /><br />More importantly.......you got the note taking job?! Fantastic!!! <br />Hope it suits you and puts your great writing skills to good use.<br />Fizzfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690612271163437496noreply@blogger.com
