Meet the Staff!
Posted by Deirdre Quirk on Mar 27th 2019
Today, we want to introduce you to some of our amazing, brilliant, incredibly-good-at-their-jobs staff members! And what better way, we thought, to introduce such talented people but to ask them what they are terrible at? So in the spirit of baring our souls, read on to find out a little bit about the jobs of C&T Publishing's employees . . . and a little bit about the jobs they would be the worst at.
Linda: I would be a horrible lawyer. I'd be sure to get tongue-tied and only come up with some brilliant counterargument long after the fact.
Liz: Public speaker.
Sue: Door-to-door salesperson or guest speaker.
Angela: A personal assistant.
Roxane: I would make an abysmal politician!
Tristan: An opera singer. A singer of any kind for that matter. I'd be subjecting the audience to cruelty.
Kerry: My kids will tell you that I panic and freeze when someone is hurt, so I would make a terrible surgeon.
Tim: Musician. I love music, I have my headphones in 80% of the day. I couldn't live without it, but I couldn't carry a note if it tied to my wrist.
Amy: Any type of job where I have to follow the rules. . . I have a fertile imagination, which is great for developing something out of nothing, but I also feel like most of the time rules are suggestions and not something that is required. I know, it's a bit weird, but that's me. So jobs not good for me. . . military, police, scientist.
Lynn: I would be a horrible politician.
April: Improv stand-up comedian. Not only do I freeze up in front of an audience, but my mind goes blank when asked any questions. I might be able to muster the courage to read or say something that is completely memorized in front of an audience, but my wits escape me when put on the spot.
Debbie: Anything where I had to work with governmental bureaucracy.
Gailen: Salesperson. At least if I didn't believe in my product. I had to do some ad sales at one of my first magazine jobs. I was horrible. Ugh. I love it when I get to work with our salespeople here to see them in action. They are really good and really positive!
Amber: I would be a horrible teacher, unfortunately!
Jennifer: I’d be pretty horrible at anything involving speaking in front of large audiences—so public speaker, teacher, and so on.
Sarah: Accounting for sure.
