Where are people finding these stereotypical office jobs that allow for so much downtime? In every office I've worked in, the calls and tickets would just keep coming in non-stop. I was always too busy to have time to look like I'm busy.
There's a lot of bureaucratic delays in large enterprises and public sector. If you're doing a job right you're likely waiting on other people 80% of the time.
I do all kinds of free training when I've got downtime. Psychology, the sales cycle, dealing with people, project planning etc. Can all help with almost any job
Well I found mine while looking for a moderately large company. I've learned, that big company's and small family businesses don't allow much downtime and freedom so I went looking for the middle.
Thanks for the tip. I've only ever worked for one extreme or the other.
