Does it sound melodramatic, he he.. It is the busyness at work, sucked in everything about me and I am not even an executive making life changing decisions. Aargh, but when tasks keep piling after each other nothing that I can do but get glued in front of my puter. Even my office chair is showing signs of fatigue.
What would a home based job take from you, you would ask. The pain of receiving resumes for positions that don’t even quality or the fact that they don’t understand what remote working is all about. They think having a computer with internet connection would hack it, forget about the fact that the company is an American company. Boy, the confidence that they exude when writing those cover letters, saying that they can confidently do the job for a position that we don’t even require. Yet during the video interview, they must recent watched the movie, “Frozen”. As they fidget and no words come out at the question of self description.
Or spending time and resources on-boarding them and not show up or the skills that they say they possess is just not there. I keep saying during interviews and orientation that ego, id, self is better kept hidden, the need to be a team player is stronger because of lack of face time interaction. But the self is persistent, painfully so that it causes them to fail. Or someone who claims to be a senior executive and accepted a low level position and has very little technical know how.
I did gain a lot of knowledge in all these, changed the way I do things having a back up is necessary.
What a joy though when we find the right combination
Life in progress..
