textualdevianceJust because this one's kind of funny, given my ongoing job hunt. Gacked from various and sundry.
1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark.
3. Take their "Career Matchmaker" questions.
4. Post the top fifteen results
I had to take the additional 50 questions because the list it first spit out was dreadful.
1. Librarian
Yeah, I could see this. I spent many long hours at the library when I was a kid and worked at one my first go-round in college.
2. Professor
Except it would involve working with undergrads for years on end. I'd go mad.
3. Critic
Booyah!
4. Political Aide
Hmmmm. Nah. I don't have the stomach for actually being involved in politics from the inside. I'd rather lob bombs at it from a distance.
5. Print Journalist
Y hallo thar
6. Criminologist
"It was a night they would remember for a very long time..."
7. Writer
Tappity tap tap tap
8. Special Effects Technician
Only if it involved working directly with Grant Imahara.
9. Technical Writer
I'm starting to suspect that I'll need to take a course or two in this if I really want to have steady work available.
10. Market Research Analyst
Heavens, no.
11. Genetic Counselor
Where the hell did this come from? And how, exactly, does one counsel genes?
12. Historian
In the service of providing information to move us forward, sure.
13. Comedian
"So this guy walks into a bar..."
14. Business Systems Analyst
Anything that sounds like a pointy-haired boss would say it is right out.
15. Casting Director
Strangely, I think I'd be damned good at this. I can size up people's types at 50 paces.
I also did the "my skills" assessment thing. Everything was grade A except 1, 9 and 10 which were B and 8 which was C. Not surprising.
The challenge in all this, of course, is convincing other people that they want to pay me to do these things. That part I haven't yet figured out.
