Job Jumperoo
I don't want to be a job jumper. I just can't find a job that is the right "fit". At my last job our VP of Student Affairs was very big on "FIT". He even conducted presentations on this. Finding the right fit has proved to be more productive, happy, successful. But how do you find that right fit? This job I even told the hiring manager I was trying to find the right fit, and she convinced me this was the place. She said it had everything I was looking for. I believed this was more of a counseling role, somewhat similar to admissions but without having to do presentations, the travel, and instead of working with undergraduates, I would be working with graduate students. However most of this job is data collecting, number crunching, accounting and troubleshooting. Anytime there is a problem concerning a grad matter, I am the one to fix it, even if it is something the student should really do for them self. If a student doesn't get paid for some reason, I have to hunt down why and fix it. If a student hasn't heard back from the housing office, I have to look into it for him. At the end of the day and even during the day I have that feeling that this is certainly not the right fit. When will I find the right fit? I am hoping my next move will be the right one and put me on the right path.
