Vision!

This is me. In my new glasses! Yay! I can see!

Another lazy post

I pinched this from Godzilla's site, as I don't have time to write a proper post! I'm still job hunting but hopefully some progress has been made. Plus I picked up my new glasses yesterday, so maybe a couple of pictures next week (after I've plucked my massive Ugly Betty style eyebrows!!).

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to stimulate your senses and your mind, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

• Novelist
  
• Photographer
  
• Vet
  
• Medical Technician
  
• Paralegal
  
• Geologist
  
• Marine Biologist
  
• Graphic Designer
  
• Online Content Developer
  
• Webmaster
  
• Computer Security
  
• Producer
  
• Computer Programmer
  
• Technical Writer
  
• Systems Analyst
  
• Meteorologist
  
• Artist

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don't like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.

You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don't like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.

You like to be involved deeply in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others at all costs.

You trust what is certain. You only like new ideas if they can be practically applied to the situation. You value what is real. You use your common sense. You like to utilise the skills you have instead of learning new ones. You are very specific and detailed when writing or talking to others. You follow directions well. You like things to be laid out for you to do instead of working them out for yourself. You like decisions to be made. You don't like things to be left in limbo. You like to know what you are getting into before you commit to something.

You like to focus on the here and now. You enjoy completing projects. It is important for you to achieve and succeed. Therefore, you believe in working hard and playing later. You like to set goals and work towards them.

Some of this makes sense, but not all. I love learning new things and interacting with people (just not idiots) and I wouldn't call myself quiet either!! Can chat shit for Britain! Ah, well.

As If Job Hunting Wasn't Difficult Enough!

Yes, the email scammers have found another lucrative source; those of whose who need a job.

I'm signed up on a couple of job sites, and I received an email a couple of days ago from a marketing company who wanted to interview me. I wasn't really interested but decided to check out the company anyway, just to see what was involved.

I duly typed 'Teed Up Marketing' into Google and got nothing definitive, so I checked the fine print on the email. First I noticed the email had come from a Hotmail addess, which I thought was very strange.

Then in the fine print I noticed that 'Teed Up Sales Motivation' would charge me £1.50 per minute with a 4 minute minimum for the privilege of enquiring why they wanted to interview me. Alarm bells began to rang. I typed the company name in again and found this article on Gumtree.

I'm just glad I checked before ringing!!
