im still at WSU but now in the admissions office (was in fin aid). my title is "data and systems coordinator". still learning exactly what im doing but basically in charge of most of the data files for the office (recruitment info, where we should be hitting recruitment, what previous years resulted in admitted students, etc). any sort of past data that recruiters/managers can use to help pinpoint traits/observations they will ask me to create it. also in charge of producing the mass letters/emails that go out. this is all much more relevant to my degrees (in sociology) than my previous position and this position will utilize SPSS which i used in grad school...AND...i get to work with my former graduate adviser who created/manages the current database system for the university...and well, finally...it does pay more. im actually excited about my job for once! plus i feel like this has a much better future potential for me...and ive even thought that maybe, just maybe in say, 10 years i might be able to get in a front office...though i doubt thats a possibility id like keep that dream alive a bit longer.stlouie_lipp wrote:What's the new gig?Jocephus wrote:i got a new job and this is my 3rd day. i contributed to boss's day. card, cookies, movie tickets.
i actually applied and interviewed for the position last year when it was open but they went with someone else. but it became open again and i got it. feel very fortunate. i do hate being the "new" guy though...and learning those subtleties of an office you just dont know in the beginning.
and for what its worth, i do like my direct supervisor. he's fairly laid back, not aggressive and he is a cards fan, though i think because of his wife?...not sure but he is rooting for them...though i dont think hes up my/our level of dedication and certainly doesnt know my love affair with GRB
