describe what you do at work.
 

What is a typical day of work like for you?

Point and click.

I do the same thing over and over again. Occasionally I get to entre something into an excel spreadsheet.

The life of a contract worker. We get to do the crappy work no one else wants or has time for.

ETA: That's only if I actually get work

Answer phones
Set appointments
Greet people
general office duties (filing,copying etc)

I write & test software to integrate w/ a call center software program to use internally for our global call centers.

I sell sports nutrition to the Vain and then counsel them on improving their health and physique in an effort to live more congruently with their vanity.

Look pretty.

drink and go sailing

You mean you sit on the boat/yacht?

-Rudey

yes. in fact, i'm leaving to do that in an hour.

Depends. If it's non-billable work, all I do is count (the same thing 4 times!), add, subtract, multiply, divide, organize employees into job groups, and explain my findings (in a nutshell).

If I'm doing billable work, I could be doing anything! Today (as I was doing yesterday), I'm checking to see that these job descriptions comply w/ the FLSA overtime regulations. Then I get to go through this employee handbook to determine if their policies are 1-good, 2-comply w/ the law, and 3-corroborate w/ their labor agreement. Then I get to update some COBRA notifications, then do some research for my attorney for the presentation he's doing next month. After that....it depends on what we have!

I answer the phones.
Handle all paperwork for my branch: sign-up and termination paperwork for the consultants, etc.
Sometimes I source candidates or look for jobs for consultants whose project is coming to an end.
Ensure that all ISO 9001:2000 procedures are followed.
Go out to the client sites to visit the consultants.

PLAY

( i work with third graders!) :D

Office Biatch

I answer phones, do a shite load of photocopying, and get sent out to get lunch, coffee, donuts, etc.

Never thought I be a college graduate and still be going this...but I guess until I figure out the next stage in my life, this job is good enough!

Put together an experiment, put it in the machine, play on the computer and wander around for 4 hours, come back, take experiment out, repeat. I love Molecular Biology. Getting 8 hours of pay for maybe 45 minutes of work!

Well right now I mostly go onto Greek Chat LOL. That will change in 2 weeks though when I start my new position, no more internet access as I will mostly be in the field.
