Nik Habicht Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Let's see: As a kid: volunteer and briefly paid EMT. Then managed convenience stores for a while. Went back to college to study business, and came out of that stint as a newspaper photographer for ~15 years. Went back to school and became an R.N., now working in the telecom industry. If you call our client (a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical manufacturer) and hear the warning that the call might be monitored for quality assurance -- it just might be me listening to the call, and providing follow-up coaching to the agent (either non-medical college grad, R.N. or Pharmacist) you spoke to. I spent 3+ years answering the phone and handling drug information and other assorted requests from fellow healthcare providers and other callers before moving into my current position. Next step -- to wrap my B.S.N. and move into management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me the next time you're going to and I'll come help just so I can say I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder Finger Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I am curious what industries/trades folks here in the forum work in. I work for an engineering firm that is based out of Pittsburg. I have been a welder steel fabricator since I was a younger version of myself and moved out of the field into the QA side of things. I have worked as an Engineer/Inspector in many environments having Bridge, Nuclear, and Maritime certifications. My greatest experiences was working as an inspector for the Navy on Ships and Submarines. We were sent all around the world. Now I work from a home office and manage inspectors for the SE. Not as exciting as it used to be.. Pic of RO-RO overhaul I put a prop like that on my 20' bass boat......but it sunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
