“Excessive workload with no assistance to reduce workload and pressure from manager & region to continue (pace) was my initial reason for the career counseling appointment. I needed a short-term solution. I had reached burn-out. Budget did not exist to hire temporary help. Talking with a counselor to brainstorm options for a short-term solution was the most important service in helping me achieve my goal. My counselor, Alice Rush, suggested using a volunteer intern from Ohlone College to alleviate my overwork. The idea that an intern could immediately reduce my workload and stress, & it would also give my dept. some positive exposure of "giving back to the community" by providing a college student with some 'real world' work experience. Within weeks we brought a new intern on-board. The counseling helped me find an immediate short-term solution, because without the short-term solution I could not concentrate on my long-term goals. The intern helped me delegate more of the tactical aspects of my job so that I could concentrate on more of the strategic programs which were much more challenging and rewarding. (Since the career counseling appointment) I'm happier with my job, my stress level reduced, I sleep better at night, and I could leave work at a decent hour. After working through my 'work-overload' problem, I've been promoted twice and NOW I'M REALLY HAPPY!”
