Career options - Where to next?
As I am near completion to a My Diploma course in Graphic Design, I have to look to what is likely to suit me the most. I think I have pretty much known where my talents lie, and now I have to look to where my attitudes lie as well.
I figured out that I am not overly 'posimistic' right now (the term 'posimistic' comes from 2008's season of Big Brother, which used to air on Channel 10 here in Australia, and I think it was the last season ever on this network - but to cut a long story short, one of the male contestants called himself that and the term pretty much caught on from there).
No, I don't have brilliant 'social' and 'leadership' skills, and am not terribly good at convincing people to get them to do what I want them to do.
However, I am not a 'follower' either, and will not blindly 'obey' just anyone, so that probably might not make me a good employee either. Well, certainly, I would not do well in the army. And forget about me getting married and becoming a housewife, because I am not terribly good at coming when I am called.
Nevertheless, I am not entirely negative (well, certainly not like Monica the Piggy Punk) - I still have some pride in myself and am happy to follow proper procedure and protocol, as long as I know the reasons for doing so (and that they are good reasons too).
I am probably more of a combination of an ideas person and a 'getting things done' person.
And because I loved my time at the UNE Armidale so much, I am considering returning there. Probably not straight away though, though I have considered doing some kind of post-graduate course.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I did a quiz yesterday and they told me that my personality type would be 'Analyser Driver' (how much that would make me a good graphic designer, I don't now). But here is what they had to say (please note that I have removed the email address so I won't be spammed):
