So What Happened With My Virgo Career Tests
Got this astrology career thing shoved in my face back in December. Figured why not mess around with it for 2024? Saw Virgos like me were supposedly crushing it in Healthcare Admin, Proofreading, and Data Analysis. Total skeptic, but hey, free ideas.
Step 1: Hunting Down the Jobs
Woke up one Tuesday feeling stubborn. Decided to hunt for these specific “Virgo friendly” roles everyone kept yapping about.
- Healthcare Admin: Drove around town stopping at doctor’s offices and clinics. Handed my resume to anyone behind a counter wearing scrubs. Mostly got blank stares and “apply online” shrugs. One lady actually laughed. Rough start.
- Proofreading: Spammed my LinkedIn contacts saying “Hey, got stuff needing reading?” Got back mostly junk – insurance pitches and half-baked marketing emails. Signed up on every freelance site overnight. Competition felt like throwing pebbles at a mountain.
- Data Stuff: Remembered I sorta knew spreadsheets from my last gig. Dug up an old Excel course certificate gathering dust. Updated my profile saying “Excel Guy (Basic).” Crossed my fingers.
Step 2: Actually Trying The Work
Some bites started coming, weirdly.
- That Healthcare Gig: Landed a part-time gig filing patient records. Reality check: Hated every second. Papers everywhere, constant phone buzz, cranky patients yelling at the receptionist next to me. Got yelled at myself twice by confused old dudes before lunch. Lasted three shifts. Ran back to my car crying once. Never again. Astrology lied hard.
- Proofreading Hustle: Scored a tiny contract checking online ads. Spent a whole weekend squinting at screens until words blurred. Learned quick how slow I actually read carefully. Charged peanuts and made basically coffee money after all those hours. Soul draining. Quit after two weeks.
- Spreadsheet Lifeline: Got asked to help organize inventory lists for a small local store. Took it slow. Made neat lists, sorted numbers, highlighted wrong entries like treasure hunts. Boss lady called my work “clean.” Felt weirdly… satisfied? Less pressure. No angry humans breathing down my neck. Just quiet rows and columns.
Step 3: Where Things Actually Landed
Turns out? The astro-guess wasn’t totally useless, just… not how they sold it.
- Healthcare Admin? Nope. My brain shut down. People chaos maxed me out.
- Proofreading? Hard pass. My eyes screamed bloody murder by day two.
- Data Stuff? Ok, this tracks. Found a niche – helping small places wrangle their messy numbers. It uses my need for order, but nobody dies if I mess up. Still basic Excel, still learning, but actually works for my Virgo brain. Made zero millions so far, but hey, steady work beats astrology chaos.
The big win? Ignoring the hype. “Win big” horoscope advice usually sucks. Real talk? Try simple things that fit your wiring. I just needed quiet tasks where my messy lists make sense to someone else. Forget predictions. Find what doesn’t make you cry in the parking lot.
