Career Talk
You, the employee
You are the lucky one with all the friends. You make
an interesting and lasting impression, especially
on women. You have them eating out of your hands,
because you do not even cast a look in their direction.
You are a bundle of energy, often leaving others
a little breathless. Your opinions are often considered
impractical, simply because the critics are not tuned
in to your frequency.
There are two of you around. The first kind is the
suave, pipe-smoking professor type, with a relaxed
manner. He's usually brilliant. The other one lives
simply and is very sentimental. He is also brilliant.
Both have a high degree of intelligence, as well as
uncanny perception. They each soak up knowledge while
appearing to be engrossed in some abstract theory.
Their memories are weak but their intuitive powers
more than make up for it. They're extremely odd in
their habits, kind and sympathetic, usually very courteous,
and they wear unusual combinations of clothing.
You are slow in asking for a raise, but you know what
you are worth. You raise the issue at the right time,
and move on to greener pastures if it is not worth
the effort.
You, the boss
You can be a difficult boss at times. Your employees
may literally have to wiggle a raise out of you, but
when it comes through, it is generous. You believe
in giving people what they deserve. You recognise
a job well done. You have no sense of discrimination.Your
employee is likely to be fired for stealing a postage
stamp. You have your own code of ethics, but when
it comes to business decisions, you are democratic.
Opinions matter to you, the more, the better. You
are very likely to request everyone's opinion on projected
procedures-and sometimes even ask a subordinate to
make the final decision.
You are usually willing to give your employees all
the rope they ask for. But you can be unpredictable
at times. There is always a change in the air around
you. You have a lot of nervous energy, but your surface
curiosity can be unnerving.
You live by the dictum of friendship. You make friends
with the most recent employee, and even the competition.
You are unpredictable, and this behaviour of yours
can have your employees in a tizzy. You are best friends
with your employee one day, and on the next, you
are ready to bite their head off.
You, the colleague
You question authority, since you dream of a work
set-up 50 years from now. You throw your arms open
to the world, and this makes you a good person to
have around in the workplace. When you do get down
to work, you attach to it a certain detached efficiency.
Careers and you
You are humanitarian, idealistic in your beliefs
and an ardent pursuer of causes. Non-profit organisations
and trade unions would be a natural for you -- anything
that will help the greater good. You care so deeply
about your fellow man that the quest for knowledge
and answers is never-ending. You enjoy a challenge
whether it's a team meeting or a battle of bantering
wits. You have strong beliefs -- you've spent plenty
of time thinking about them -- and are bound to get
the job done. You spend countless hours mulling over
the possibilities for a project and may even come
up with some startling conclusions, but it's all in
a day's work. And it's never boring! A dull day is
a nightmare for you.
