Uppers
Interacting with the people needing unemployment benefits and seeking employment
opportunities. Alot of times I am the only positive person they might come in
contact with in a week and I like to help them focus on the positive.
|
Downers
Government bureacratic games, the mounds of needless paperwork,
keeping numbers that don't mean anything.
|
Lifestyle
Work hours are 8-5, no travel for my position, no social events, dress code is
professional, no educational requirements unless you are in top management,
hiring is always from within unless nobody applies then they go looking at the
public.
|
Compensation
Compensation is good and pay is very low. Sometimes bonuses are
given, stock options just started.
|
Advice to Jobseekers
You almost need a second income in order to make it within this
field due to the very low pay. This job will always be around
because the need is there.
