Teamwork is not for loners......

In the fast paced work we currently live and work in, the phrase 'it's not my job' does not work. If something needs to get accomplished, then team members need to pitch in and get it done. If a project is going to be delayed because someone is off, then a substitute need to step in.
Recently, a check needed to be sent to a new vendor. My supervisor was informed that the person that sets up new vendors was off for the week and it will be processed then. This was not acceptable to my boss. When the person returned from vacation, everyone was cross-trained on setting up vendors. A company cannot come to a stop just because someone is on vacation.
I have done a lot of things in my professional career, so have many talents. So as my company reorganized I was transferred to a totally new position. Currently I am on the team that is developing the website job.travel. Something that I never expected to be doing in my life. But, it is good training for future projects. My company is a large travel wholesaler, with all sorts of careers. From the reservation agents(my former position) to accountants, to web designers and salespeople. So don't discount the travel and hospitality industry for a rewarding career. Checkout job.travel and get a new career started.
