So far it has been impressed on me that in a nonprofit, there is no such as a job description. Of course, I had an intimation of this concerning all jobs.<\/p>\n

I figure that there is no such thing as an absolute<\/em> job description in nonprofits or, in most organizations because of this simple cliche:\u00a0Teamwork makes the Dream Work<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When one of your co-workers need help -you help them; when the whole office is working together on a project, you do it as well because you are a part of the office.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if the assignment is not in your job description -and it’s as simple as that?<\/p>\n

Well not exactly especially when you are on a tight time schedule -as was the case in my situation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let me stop here and tell you why my monologue above is relevant to the this prompt, which is to describe an experience that one didn’t expect at placement.<\/p>\n

I did not expect to work on any major project that was unrelated to my <\/em>research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, I did. And it became overwhelming and I couldn’t find a balance between research and the major project. But after all the worry, I realized that I had co-workers working with me and we could do it.<\/p>\n

The project was a major success and came together very well -and I must say the cliche is true: Teamwork makes the Dream Work.<\/p>\n

But the word “Dream” is deceiving of course, because its not your dream work<\/em> -or what you expect, but the best work for things to happen.<\/p>\n

So next time you’re overwhelmed with work:<\/p>\n
