it’s 1:18pm, and tests are for nerds. like me.
I’ve spent the better part of the morning taking tests that make me feel like that lovely university diploma on my wall would be better suited as a coffee table coaster.
not really … but that sounded funny in my head.
as I’m attempting to try my hand at online freelancing, I’m also taking a bunch of “Qualification Tests” that might allow me to bid for higher-paying jobs and/or be sought after by the clients themselves.
the maternal parental unit — who today suggested that I attempt to get a job in the world of TV broadcast operations (what the?) — is home from work, so I figured it’d be as good a day as any to take said tests … and make sure she knew I was doing so. point to Gryffindor!
so far, there’s only one test (of the 3 I’ve taken this morning) that I’ve “hidden” from view of future potential clients; shockingly, it’s the “Internet Marketing” test, which I thought I’d ace considering I scored in the top 20 percentile on the “Social Media Marketing” test. no dice. but I can take it again in a month (?) and hopefully I’ll score a bit higher. I also scored pretty high on the AP Stylebook test, despite never having actually studied the damn thing and “learning by doing” when I was at my last full-time gig.
the only other news — or lack thereof — is that I still haven’t heard back from the company where I interviewed last week. not sure how I feel about that yet, but I could still get a call. stranger things, etc. in the meantime, I take these tests and expand my LinkedIn connections and try to make folks laugh at rehearsal and generally keep all manner of good thoughts.
