I'm lucky to have skirted by up until now, and I can't wait until this baby arrives as I'm not going back to work. It's so hard to focus on work when there are so many other fun and exciting things to be doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15764 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:32:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 15764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um.... ha. I'm not 100% sure, but I get my work done. (even if I'm on HelloBee, Google Reader, Twitter and blogging) I have people hiring me to do design work on the side. So I guess I'm hireable! ;) (not a word, I know)</p> <p>I think in my case, seeing I do contract work, I have to be honest with my clients. Tell them that it might take a little longer due to my toddler, work etc. But so far it's worked out and they are happy with the result so if it takes an extra week or two they are fine with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15710 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:11:56 +0000 Boogs 15710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I was a cool employer I would hire me, you know the kind with great benefit packages. ;) I truly am a very hard working and loyal employee, so I think I would do well if it was a family friendly organization doing the hiring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15702 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:27:45 +0000 mrbee 15702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: haha nice try!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15697 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:16:51 +0000 Red 15697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sad to say but I probably wouldn't. Before marriage and baby, I had drive and ambition to climb the ladder and maximize my earning potential. But my priorities have definitely changed after meeting my husband and ruling the world doesn't sound half as appealing as a nice family picnic. </p> <p>Don't get me wrong, I'd still be awesome at whatever job I held but it just wouldn't be my first or even second priority. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15693 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:03:56 +0000 MsMini 15693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a permanent position at the hospital where I work at, but I am applying for a bigger one, and I am not sure if my boss will want to give it to me, considering in 5 months she will have to fill it for the year I am gone ... I am sure it would feel like double the work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15586 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:24:57 +0000 Navy_Mommy 15586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Maybe we're all so unproductive (and thus not-hireable) because we spend too much time on your site...I'm just sayin' though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15585 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:23:47 +0000 tequiero21 15585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol not right now. i feel very unproductive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15553 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:50:04 +0000 Navy_Mommy 15553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not, hahaha.</p> <p>I left my job in July to get married and move across the country and haven't worked since. And to be quite honest, I'm really enjoying having time to refocus and figure out what I really want to do (I don't plan on ever going back to my career - it just wasn't a good fit). </p> <p>I'd love to eventually be self employed, I just have to figure out what I want to do!hah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15549 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:46:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 15549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure - I'll be newly graduated in May, so strong desire to "climb up the ranks" so to speak, but with 2-3 years of fieldwork ahead of me to get licensed as an MFT, and potentially having a baby, I'm not entirely sure. </p> <p>I'd love to be self-employed, though. Just have to figure out how.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15534 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:34:50 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 15534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. I just graduated form college in May and instead of actively looking for a normal 9-5 job my husband and I decided I could work from home trying to pursue something else. Even though I would consider myself hard working I would not hire myself at a normal job because my heart would not be in it and I don't think I would do the job good enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-hire-yourself-these-days#post-15530 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:14:07 +0000 mrbee 15530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always prided myself on being hard working, but it's just tough to put in the hours like I used to. I have to work a lot at night and on weekends, and I'm tired so my creativity has suffered.</p> <p>I don't know if I'd hire myself these days! (Which is sad, because I'm self-employed.) It's just physically hard to be a good worker, spouse and parent! </p> <p>How about you - would you hire yourself these days? </p>
