What Do You Do For Your Job / Living • Page 7

Travel agent for close to 9 years now. I can't believe it's been that long already!

 

what's that like these days? i feel like all i hear now is "the death of the travel agency" thanks to stuff like kayak.

 

I work in the IT field - have been for about 8 years or so, I'm one week away from getting my BS in Computer Networks and Security.

 

Hey, I'm actually having trouble setting up a couple ranges of IP's on servers at the moment haha. Are you familiar with the process?

 

Are you referring to DHCP?

 

I think.... to be honest, this is completely new territory for me. I'm trying to add five ip ranges to a CentOS server. I got three of the ranges up by going into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and adding and ifcfg file. But for some reason, the other two ranges aren't working.

 

No idea, I've only worked with Windows Server and Windows OS. Nothing Linux based, sorry!

 

An unemployed student who will hopefully graduating at the end of this semester.

Job wise I have no clue what I'm gonna be doing =/

 

I sell stuff on Amazon and EBay. Order from us and I'll know where y'all live

 

I run/own a small business. We do consulting, event management, wedding planning and some other stuff.

 

Been at a Restaurant Industry Sales Tax/Audit conference all week.

Be jealous!

 

I finally managed to get a part-time job that doesn't suck. I'm currently working at a pest control company as a office helper to the owner. Basically, I spend my days designing forms and presentations for him, scanning items and other projects he needs done.

 

My "official" title is a "Full Stack Web Developer/Software Engineer".

However, in the company I work for that means that not only am I a web developer and a software engineer, but I'm also the IT person, quality analyst, handyman, and furniture mover.

I wear a lot of hats.

 

contract production designer for a music streaming service, woo!

 

Potentially a long shot, but does anyone here do graphic design? I'm trying to create a tshirt but I can't mock up the logo myself. It's very simple and very clear, if that entices anyone to talk to me.

 

I just began working for the US Department of a Education in Federal Student Aid compliance. Hoping this is the place i land before retirement.

 

I work at a PR firm focused in health and health care policy. really wonderful stuff. starting to apply for jobs in NYC!

 

I work for a textile manufacturer. We design and manufacture jacquard-woven materials such as furniture upholstery (residential and commercial), decorative pillow fabric, wall coverings, medical-grade fabrics, boat/rv fabrics, drapery, bedding, and even some apparel. We're the largest domestic jacquard manufacturing operation, and second-largest in the world. Chances are good that your butt has touched something I've made (oh, and believe me, I thought about your butt while making it too). But actually I don't make the fabric myself... I work in our sales support department as a special project manager, meaning I do the planning and logistics for specific custom projects requested by our customers.

 

Sounds neat! How did you end up in that job/career?

 

Pure. Luck.

I used to work in the banking industry until the economy went apeshit in the late 2000s and I got laid off. After spending a few months looking for a new job with no luck, I joined up with a friend who was starting a new restaurant and catering company, and I came on as the catering/events manager. I quickly formed a relationship with many local companies to cater their business functions. So one day out of the blue I get a call from one of the companies I've been catering to for about 2 years, and they were calling to offer me a job because they liked my work effort and planning/organizational skills (the latter part is hilarious because I'm a little messy and I work in 'organized-piles' instead of filing things neatly). I accepted and I've been here ever since. I'm still very much learning this industry, but its been pretty cool so far.

(It's worth pointing out that my education background is about as unrelated to every job I've had as possible. I majored in broadcast meteorology [to be a tv weatherman]).

 

graphic design for a beer company!

@Cody Nelson send me a message i'd love to help you out!

 

I’m based in Centerville, OH. During the day I work for ACCO Brands as a Production Artist. I date calendars and create carton labels. During the day I listen to podcasts about business, design and music to learn more as I work.

Some evenings and on weekends I focus on my passion, creating artwork for bands and spending time with friends and family. I'm putting the overlap technique into practice.

 

I'm a neuroscience PhD student. It's...not fun. But I love a lot of the people I work with, and the best thing about it is that it's really flexible. I ride horses and I know I couldn't find another job where I can take off at 3 in the afternoon to go to the barn, so I'm sticking it out for now.

 

Hah! Love the Office Space gif. :) I'm a 4th grade teacher. Fun times!

 

Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day!
