I've noticed a tremendous amount of mispronunciation of the word "our". I hear a lot of people speaking and when they use the word "our" it sounds like this, for example:
"are marketing stragtegy has taken on a fresh and flexible new look"
"we have chosen to not change are logo"
The VP of Marketing at Nationwide can not properly annunciate the word our.
But, I always get ragged on for ignoring the "L" in certain words like Cold or last names such as Wolfe.
Also, I've noticed that I am very unhappy with my job. Let me explain. I am happy with my company - Nationwide is a great place to work. I am happy with my boss - she is totally cool and really lets me self manage. I am unhappy with what it is I do. Here is an outline of my day...
1. Arrive and check email / voicemail
2. Daily meeting
3. Return phone calls / emails
4. Recruit - pound the phones and have the same conversation over and over and over
5. Send any interested / qualified candidates their assessments and then send candidate summary to hiring manager
6. Make more phone calls
7. Plan phone calls for the following day
I am so bored. I am so unchallenged with this line of work. I thought it was just Kforce before, no. It's RECRUITING. I'm tired of it. I need a job that is project based, that will allow me to think and to work and to create things. I'm too left brained to be a recruiter.
But as I look at what defines if you're a right or left brained person - I find almost all of both qualities present in myself. However, when it comes to the work I do, I put too much thought into it to not be considered Left Brained. I once took a personality profile assessment from the book "Strengths Finder" by Tom Rath . I did this when I was in recruiting at Kforce. My number one strength was Context. Second was Harmony. I forget what the other three were. But I can tell you I was completely unique from every other person in that office who took it. Everyone else had their top strengths as Competitiveness and Drive. Well... not me. I need info, I need to solve problems. I simply don't have access to do that in my current line of work.
Being in school will change that, it'll give me the knowledge I need to move into a more analytic field, but what about the present?
