Assessments
Today, I went in to the staffing agency who got me this job that I'm starting on Thursday. The staffing agent wanted me to take an assessment for Adobe InDesign. I've been using that software for about three years now, and I know it pretty well...very well...why be modest? She wanted me to prove it, so I did.
The results of the assessment will help her find my next assignment. I don't know how I did yet, but if I had to give myself a performance rating, I would say 80–85%. I only had an hour in which to complete the necessary tasks, and I completed most of them. I only had a few things left to touch up, and I ran out of time. We'll see what she has to say about it. Regardless, I am proud of this because I learned this program (which is the one of the only competitors to Quark XPress) on my own, in my own spare time. It's such a cool thing that I love to use, and it became a hobby for me. Now I'm hoping to turn that hobby into cash, baby, cash!! Yeah!!
That's all. I'm looking forward to working again, but I have to say, I'll be a little resentful that I have to get up at 6:30 a.m. again. But I'm not ungrateful!!
