The Recruitment Firm

So today I drove to South Pasadena to finally meet with this recruitment firm that I was supposed to meet last week. The drive itself was rather nice and I made good time, a rarity in Los Angeles. After filling out the requisite paperwork I sat down with the person and we talked for a few minutes. Basically what I told I'm looking for something that matches my interests and in a location that I can reasonable expect to make it in on time. Those are two big criteria for me. One of the many things I've learned in the working world is show up on time and don't simply accept work because someone else cajoled you into. I think it's a monumental waste of my time and the employer's time when you train for a job that you know that you're not qualified to do but a friend or relative thought "oh what's the big deal? You can do this." I firmly believe that no one is able to do every job. Just because someone is good at one thing doesn't mean they're good at everything. Personally, I suck at working in an office typing, filing, and answering the phones. I especially suck in working in highly structured and formal environment such as banks and law firms. I more suited to creative situations. Does this make me short sighted? Maybe? but as the great bard once said "To thine own self be true." So that was that. I think the firm can do something for me because they deal with architecture firms and museums so this is a good sign. We'll see what happens.

More later.
