I had a talk with the campus counselor yesterday (a student only taking a very basic class not working on other degrees and also a pt employee temp) about what happen with the job that let me go. I told her my struggles with concentrating and focusing how they felt I didn't "measure up to their standards." I told her academically as well as professionally, I have always been the slowest person in learning besides at that job those were new systems plus learning how to understand insurance terminology too. Now, I need to figure out how to craft that answer (my weakness) for any future interviews and how to explain how am I improving my ability not sure how but I learn as much as I can as the days go by. I plan on seeing her in maybe another two weeks. I know there are areas I am still weak in and still trying to improve just doesn't feel like the weak areas are going fast enough. One of them is I am still constantly improving yet it still feels stagnant!

She asked me if I enjoy working in a college environment? I told her absolutely and I am finding out how I enjoy working with business partners/clients - internal customers. Now, I am wondering what areas would be ideal for me to look at on working with clients/BPs? I am not sure if I want to write policies, contracts, or any of that. I know how to maintain confidential information; I seem to be going in the direction of wanting to building relationships. I don't want anything in a sales position as I don't do commission only hourly pay! I'm not looking into an area of dealing with money or large amounts of it; just looking for ideas to where I can go into this career path? What type(s) of companies/industries should I target? Like I have said before, only looking for jobs that don't require a lot of schooling/any schooling but pays good/decent and a company I'd enjoy working for. My pt job is not going anywhere nothing but budget issues just a dead end job, but nothing wrong with the place that I work at I just need more responsibilities.

Told counselor that I am keeping IT on the back burner, but I am gonna go after a job that is going to come first depending on what its offering to me even if it isn't IT. So, I am needing to pick up the pace much faster but need to make sure I don't end up losing another job. I don't like micromanagement environments, but I know I could end up in another micromanagement place elsewhere may not always be laid back like my current environment. Any suggestions? Maybe some users on here might be in a job where they work with clients daily and can give me some insight as to how they like or don't like the job. Any tips/suggestions on improving speed and learning? How can I learn now to maintain relationships at my current job so that way I can be ahead of the game? I have made relationships with coworkers and some of the students in the tech center.
