Are there any particularly funny, horrifying, or heartwarming moments you strongly remember from any (or all) of them? Jot some of your favorites down.
Fair dinkum, I feel like I grew up there, ages 14-18. A lot of things happened while I worked there, most funny, like coming to work with hickeys or being hungover, joking with the chefs, eating lollies in the salad room. but I made some core decisions at that place and Joanna and Danielle worked there too.
Hairdresser at price attack, met Lareina, had a lot of fun there, probably one of the best bosses I've ever had there suz. 19-21, had my first heartbreak while working here and sparked my passion for doing hair.
Are you currently fulfilled at work? If so, why or why not?
No because I work for a big company that I don't respect. As always the higher ups either try to micro manage or pin their mistakes on the workers at my level. id rather be above or below the current level mat. its the worst one to be at.
What is the best job that you've ever had? Why do you think you liked it?
probably when I worked at Liquorland prahan haha which is a surprise to me writing it right now, but there was just a lot going on there, it was just like laid back in terms of rules because higher ups knew that that store was just always gonna be a mess. there were so many characters that would come in, some scary ones but they made for good stories too, plus my boss was smith.
What is the worst job you've ever had? Why did you take it (or stay longer than you wanted)?
Oscar Oscar salons, I stayed longer because i was deeply depressed and I just didn't have the energy to figure out something else until I was forced too. but also I was given titles that I had been working for for years so I felt like I didn't want to make a waste of that time.
Does a part-time or full-time position suit you better? Why?
Part time would suit me the best because I would love to work on my hobbies which I believe would end up making me money at some stage but I can not afford it right now.
What are your work values? Think of values that bring you emotional fulfillment (being challenged, helping others, influence, etc.) as well as external things that you value (high earnings, job security, having adequate time away from work, etc.)
I always say I want a job where im helping people that actually need help, not just servicing the general public or a job that I can work from home.
Tattoo artist, graphic designer or anything I can do from homeĀ
What if you thought of your work as a calling instead of a grind (even if just for now)?
there's just no way Liquorland could ever be someones calling unless you're the CEO making all the money from it
Are the internal values more or less important than the external things you receive?
probably a mix, but I see a job as a means of making money to support your internal values so if a job can do that too, great, but I don't think it necessarily has to
Do you feel like you need to work toward a change in your career or vocation? Why?
absolutely, I feel very burnt out and like I could offer so much more than what im currently doing.
