Some interesting thoughts about finding purpose in work and how to facilitate it as a manager

I made a video of me talking about some things I'd want employers to know about me...don't be fooled, I am no professional.

Time To Grow Up

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel of nannying. It's time for a "real job." It's been fun, and a great job to get me through college, but as my senior year comes around, it's time to start figuring things out. Lots of internship searching, job searching, networking, asking around, etc. As I think about the interviews I will *hopefully* be getting, it's important to think about how I want to present myself. Am I a hard worker? Do I hold my convictions strong? Am I an introvert or extrovert? Can I independently work on tasks, or do I need more direction? After some thinking time, I've come up with a few attributes about myself that I want my future employers to know.

1. I feed off of purpose. Doing mundane tasks where I can't see the end is not for me. When I have a goal that I know is worthwhile and significant, I will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

2. I take direction well. When a vision is cast, and a plan is laid out, I can make it happen. I like having instructions and an overarching plan of action before I begin a task.

3. Family is number one. If a job requires me to take home a significant amount of work, it's not for me. I am not interested sacrificing my own family for the sake of my reputation. Not worth it.

A combination of these three qualitites would be a great job for me. Now, to start the search!
