There are some things that I don't like about the job of course. I don't like it when I spend time on the phone or in person with a really nice, sweet, obviously intelligent person and I can't really help them for any number of reasons. I don't like having to be so skeptical and tough on people. It's just not my style. I prefer being a little bit naive and trusting but I don't think that is conducive to being a good recruiter.

I pray every morning before work that God will keep me from becoming too cynical and skeptical of others. Maybe I'll somehow miraculously only work with fabulous, responsible candidates that never let me down.

Or maybe I'll get burned horribly a few times and slip comfortably into being a bit more cynical and judgemental when I'm doing my interviews.

I guess only time will tell.

In other work related news: I got my business cards this week! THEY HAVE MY NAME ON THEM! And my direct phone number! And email address! This is the first time I've had real business cards, as you may have guessed. The sad thing is...I worked in fundraising full-time for nine months. Even the top fundraiser in that company, other than Scary Boss Lady, didn't have real business cards ("real" as in not having to print them from the template in our computers, onto pre-printed logo sheets, and then cut them ourselves on our crappy little paper-cutter that never cut 1) in a straight line or 2) smooth edges).
