I really wait for the job to come. Whatever job comes up, I just want to keep working. The jobs don't always come, so you take whatever is available and hope it's a good one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm in this position where I can afford to wait, I'm lucky enough to be financially secure to not have to do anything that's thrown at me. You know the next couple of jobs are going to be pretty crucial in terms of how you're perceived by people. So I'm just waiting.
I wait for something good or something that will be fun. But they've got to pay me if they want me to work.
For the first time in a while, I must be honest, I really genuinely look forward to coming to work every day.
Instead of waiting around for someone to give you a job, you have to go and create work for yourself. It took me a while to figure that out for myself.
First and foremost, I enjoy working. I'm not at that level where I can pick and choose anything. When I get hired, I take it, and I'm like, 'Let's go!'
When you first start out, you are just happy to get a job, any job. And as time goes on, either you move forward or screech to a halt.
I used to just take every job that seemed relatively appealing. But now I take a job and it's in the trades the next day - it feels like people are watching and waiting to see what you do, and when you do take a job, attention is noted.
It's something that I love about this business and that scares me about this business, but in a good way. You just never know what's going to happen. And things change constantly. But there's always opportunities for new work, so you just have to enjoy the job that you're on while you're on it because it doesn't last forever.
I have never chosen my next job. I focus on what's in front of me, and serendipity steps in.
I do less waiting by the phone than anyone I know in the business. I don't wait for a job. I just go on to my own work.
