NHỮNG NGÀY ĐẦU TIÊN

Hơn 15 năm trước, tôi cũng là một cô sinh viên ngành kế toán, chỉ nghĩ Excel là một môn học phụ, thậm chí là phụ nhất trong các loại phụ. Thứ mình quan tâm lúc đó là các môn chuyên ngành, rồi tốt nghiệp ra trường cho nhanh để đi tìm việc làm. Mặc dù mình là người giỏi nhất lớp về môn học Excel nhưng cũng chẳng mấy tự hào, bởi mình không gặp khó khăn gì với môn học này. Mình chỉ thấy lạ là mọi người khá vất vả với nó. Trên lớp mình thường được giáo viên tín nhiệm thay cô hướng dẫn cho các bạn. Những gì trên lớp dạy hầu như mình đã biết hoặc chỉ học một lúc đã hiểu ngay. Bởi thế mình thấy Excel chẳng có gì đáng nói. Biết thế là đủ, biết nữa cũng chẳng để làm gì.

Đến khi ra trường tìm việc làm, mình nhận ra một điều là: toàn bộ hồ sơ của bản thân không có gì nổi bật, rất khó để cạnh tranh với những người khác. Kinh nghiệm bằng 0. Kỹ năng có một chút nhưng chẳng dùng được. Cái gọi là "biết nhưng chưa hiểu", "có nhưng chưa thành thạo" là một điểm yếu chí mạng với bản thân khi ấy. Mình cũng chỉ lờ mờ cảm nhận được thôi chứ chưa rõ ràng như bây giờ. Kết quả là phải lăn lộn một thời gian mình mới có một công việc. Ấy thế mà công việc đó lại không như bản thân kỳ vọng....

Friends, I have an ANNOUNCEMENT: after five years, I have decided to close this page. I will still be blogging monthly and participating in forums, such as Volunteer Engagement Professionals - connection & camaraderie and on the CVA page. I hope to see you in these other spaces and keep the conversation going.

And of course, please sign up for my email list and get my monthly posts delivered right to your mailbox.

It's been wonderful to meet and chat with so many dedicated Leaders of Volunteers - look forward to seeing you on the other sites. Warmly, Elisa

How to Prioritize When Everything Feels Important 08/18/2020

One of my pet peeves about time management courses is that one model does not work for everyone. Here's an article with a half dozen different options to help you prioritize your work.

How to Prioritize When Everything Feels Important There's never enough time to do everything you want to do. It's a universal problem. And we all accept that fact and live with its reality until the worst-case scenario rears its ugly head: There's not enough time to do everything you have to do.When everything on your to-do...
