Bob Greene's Linkedin Analytics

I'm thankful for the jobs I have where I've gotten in better shape to make up for the lock-down inactivity. Sadly, the IT jobs just haven't felt as rewarding or fulfilling. Starting in the Army, most of my experience has been in IT positions, but I've taken jobs in warehouse environments that actually worked fine for me, too. I enjoyed desktop support but loathe call center work. While I was on Active Duty, I taught myself web design which led to my degree in Graphic Web Design. I've used Adobe PhotoShop & Illustrator, but primarily use GIMP when I lost access to my older version of Creative Studios. I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing the results of my work which is why I enjoy desktop support and web design equally. Interestingly enough, I had to move on from some jobs because I was too efficient. I like a steady work pace. So, when the workload tapers off, I've often sought out additional tasks to remain productive. Sometimes, It wasn't conveyed that the position wasn't temp.-to-hire, and I was led to believe I would be transitioning to a full-time position once my task-load was complete. I worked 21 yrs. for the Army and have been searching for jobs where I can stay just as long. I look forward to proving my value to the company that hires me and hope it becomes long-term employment. It's good that my parents were able to retire. Too bad the younger generations won't have that option. Realistically, I expect to work myself into the grave. Whatever the case, I figure there's honor in that.
