I am entering the young adult stage and as I said, it is time for me to get cracking. But now I am getting realistic perceptions on my personality and my interests, and what is suited for me on the job.
I'll look at my behaviors at school and at home, and even the prior work experience from volunteering that may influence my behavior on the job. Here are some dimensions that I do need to have a good job experience:
1. Need to be busy all the time - I need a job where I am doing something. I walk in and start working, and then when I am done, I leave. Jobs that are laid back and a lot of downtown are going to bother me, and it seems like I am going to think about things when I am not occupied all the time.
2. I need a job where I can move around - I can't sit in a desk all day; I'll be distracted by the internet and won't be doing my work because of the lack of stimulation. I need to have something where I am moving all the time or most of the time to keep my mind occupied. When I am sitting around doing nothing, I tend to want to jump to the next activity or click around on a computer. Computer jobs may not be good for me at all.
3. Relationships are important - I am picky about the people I am working with. I can't work with anyone and I have standards of who I work with and who I don't work with.
4. I like the suit - it gives me a sense of importance, a sense of idenity, and it makes me feel like I am part of a group or a family. If people see me walking around in a suit, they might start idenify me with the suit. I don't think I have the individualist, screw you thing with me. I would like to show the world I am actually doing something; it gives me a sense of importance.
5. Clean environment - I don't want to work around with toxic, dangerous, or hazordous materials - in other words, I am kind of prissy and don't want to get my hands dirty. I tend to be worried a lot about health and safety.
6. Structured environment - it seems like I do like routine a lot and I like to do what someone tells me too. I don't really have the free for all "screw you" attitude - I tend to be comformist.
7. Steady pay - I need to have a steady pay and possibly a decent pay. Who doesn't want a decent pay. I tend to blow money and I am not a saver; maybe I should learn the value of stuffing money in the bank. It seems like I want instant stimulation and I don't seem to be goal orientated and I seem to want to but on impulse. I don't think.
8. I am not that goal orientated - it looks like I go with the flow and see what happens - it looks like I don't have many goals such as working towards a car. I tend to be head up my butt probably because of a lack of work experience.
It looks like I care about fitting in more than getting stuff done. In school I am not that big on being the top student - it looks like I care about being more accepted and being cool, and make me feel like I am important. It seems like I can work in a high school like environment - I don't have that sense of individualism and I seem to go around with the crowd; and I don't seem to care. I think the sense of individualism might come when I get older. I think I am more worried about the social relationships and if everyone plays fair and by the rules than actually doing their own thing. It might be the way I am and I think it might be a way students are these days.
