I know I am not the only one who gets asked this question....What DO you do for a living? I think I get asked this question at least once every other week. It's an interesting question because the answer changes daily, but I am okay with that.
My degree, Communications (Broadcast Journalism and PR) was chosen, by me, because I wanted to do something different every day. I wanted to cover a different story or event everyday. I never wanted to be stuck doing the same thing day after day. That's why this travel gig works well for me.
One minute I might be looking at spend patterns over India and how are best leveraging our contracts. One minute I might be looking at a hotel on a heat map to understand where is the hotel and do I feel safe suggesting someone stay there. The next might be working with an internal team who is trying to save money on travel costs/events but can't get their hands around what they should be looking at. The next call I pick up is looking to understand our emissions, tracking of those and how we can effectively report them. (This is a recap of my last 4 conversations TODAY.)
So, when I am asked what I DO for a living, I try to keep things simple because I know it won't make sense to anyone else who doesn't live in our world. So, in this crazy world of ours, I simply, keep going.
