I do like my job. It’s straight-forward and quite easy, well-paid and it’s giving me a great sense of the world of full-time employment. And I’ll get a good reference from them for sure, for the future. Everyone in my departments is really friendly and helpful, and it’s great to work for such a huge and successful company such as this.
This was a great opportunity for me and I am glad I took it. I think I would have regretted passing up this chance. So I try not to complain, because at the end of the day, the job is just that, a job, to earn money so I can afford to do what I really want to do: go travelling.
But at the same time, I could not face working here everyday for the rest of my life. I like this job for the minute, because I know it’s only temporary - I will have racked up 7 months work ‘experience’ from here, which is great. But the trouble with my job is that it’s not specialised. I don’t feel like I’m really needed for this. Anyone could do it. There’s no specialist skills involved which mean that I’m really the right person for this role. I mean, I am good at this job: you need to be organised and punctual and able to manage and sort out things. I can do all those easily and with skill. I am an efficient and hard-working person, and my managers have told me they’re glad I’m around as I’m really useful and helpful. Which although that is always nice to hear, there is more to life than arranging inter-departmental meetings and co-ordinating spreadsheets and databases. There really is.
In the future I want a job where I am hired for my skills and abilities. I want to have actual responsibilities for a company which relies on me to get work done. My current job is only temporary, so it’s all good. I do like it for the moment. So I can’t, and won’t, complain
