More Job Stuff

Ahh the Job Search continues…

Recently I found out that the organization that helps returning Veterans find Jobs Also will help those with non-service related disabilities

So I began the sign-up process

The first time I started I ran into a long registration process late at night
So I left it and forgot about it for awhile

I received an e-mail from them this week reminding me to finish up
So last evening that is what I did

During the registration process there is a job match segment
that helps you choose a career path

this is what it found for me

Cartoonists 86%
Set Designers 84%
Composers 83%
Music Directors 83%
Directors- Stage, Motion Pictures, Television, and Radio 82%
Exhibit Designers 82%
Merchandise Displayers and Window Trimmers 82%
Music Arrangers and Orchestrators 82%
Poets and Lyricists 81%
Bench Workers, Jewelry 80%
Graphic Designers 80%
Interior Designers 80%
Choreographers 79%
Creative Writers 79%
Fashion Designers 79%
Art Directors 78%
Film and Video Editors 78%
Educational Psychologists 77%
Painters and Illustrators 77%
Talent Directors 77%

Other than the Creative Writer job most involve Art & Music and things I really have no talent or ability for: the Choreographer choice really is funny since I am a double amputee.

In my response to them I requested that they take a real look at my interests, skills and abilities and try to find more appropriate choices.

Meanwhile I am back on the substitute teacher list and I scored well in my application to DHS in Tampa. Now just have to wait to see how that pans out
