Where do you work?
 
Just curious as to what kind of jobs the people of HDC have. I am a full time student and did work part-time at a daycare, but I quit because I was spending more more on gas then I was making.

Well, I do oddjobs for my dad like wash the car and mow grass and stuff, but nothing official.

Phalanx 04-24-2007 10:21 AM

I'm referred to as an agent.
I work in an office, and jobs vary dependant upon client specifications.
We've done work for msn, the state rail authority here, the govt currently in power here, sony...and many other campaigns run on and off for different organisations.
At the moment, my role is largely customer service, data retrieval and info processing. Chances are I'll be further trained within a year to move into the HR field, or potentially staff training and management.
So I guess I'll lean towards this one instead of an actual position as a chef...I came to realise I didn't much like the industry, but continued for personal interest...still plenty to learn there...the food thing is by far not over for me, but anyways...yeah, my office...Not a bad firm...they have offices in every major city here, and usually promote from within for their interstate positions too. For some reason they feed us there too...all the damn time they're bringin' around lunch or candy, drinks or whatever.
Pretty decent place, everyones pretty cool there, even the management, I've yet to run across somebody that makes me wanna kill 'em....weird....

Yknow, in future I might look into owning/operating my own small catering operation or B&B with my chick when we have the appropriate funds together, but for now, I'm happy to stay with my current job and see where it takes me.

That sounds like a cool job.

I'm a Budget Analyst for a University. What that actually means is that I handle the financials and do grantwriting for a sponsored department which creates medical robots.

I actually have a Bachelor's Degree in Film, which I really use now. :rolleyes:

I'm also saving up to go to school next year to be a certified yoga instructor.

Thats cool. I was interested in the Media in school but never got into it.

dabruce16 04-25-2007 11:40 AM

shadow

editing is fun. especially at weeklies. instead of just one job like a person would probably have at a daily, a person working at a weekly over looks everything. it is fun to dabble in advertising, pagination, writing, editing, photography, etc. if it would only pay better :(
