I think was saying earlier that when you starting with a company or in any
position if you have the people that you're working with and the people that
you're working for are looking at you to find out how you think, how you work
what your interests are, what's your energy, your drive is all about
and you will get exposure to a lot of other people and
their jobs and you'll start thinking about well I might like to do bad that's more
interesting I'm doing now so you'd like to talk to your manager you might talk
to your peers about that of their job is like and start moving things along
towards maybe switching from the assignment you have to another assignment in different area
it's usually people getting to know you and agreeing that you have the
capabilities to do some different things and you decided that I'd like to do some different things
and just talking to people around you because you
I've worked for large companies and as writes that there are a lot of very
disciplined processes about meeting with employees, talking about developmental plans
things you need to work on move forward in your development
it's all of the above.
it's really all over the place for me it's just been how things going to
transpire and happen giving examples so identical first job in South Carolina
I moved from Pennsylvania down the South Carolina I was there for four years
thought was great loved it great job I was in a rotational program
so they said I had to move but despite the advertisements that it
was going to be what I wanted to do now it was what they needed people to do so
then I was forced to go to a site that I didn't want to go to down in Houston
Texas but I wouldn't know the note of the mind just to see could be
interesting well I ended up hate it. so now I got a
decision to make my daughter's two years old what do we
do now what's next we decided to move back to Pennsylvania to get back close
through the family so I resigned with Rodya and I started working for Lanza in
R&D loved it it was great and then all of a sudden Lanza bottom of the company
and there's all this restructuring and confusion and they stripped a lot of
R&D responsibilities a part of that was the pilot plant that
we used to run stuff in all the time never operated so then they had me
living in Rochester work with that plan I got tired of that. so then I switched
roles again and started working permanently as a project engineer in the
Williamsport plant and then they gave me a couple months ago they said hey we're
going to create another position for reliability engineer we'd like you to do
it and they said that sounds great and that's what I'll do now so it's just
it's what life brings you it's what happens to companies sometimes like or
if it could potentially be your own decision but it's it's gonna be all over
the place it's really like families running a lot of times
if you have a particular area - I was always interested in
they never really reflected like that extra Bachelor degree in biology my salary
when I first started working but when they when they first started creating
these wastewater treatment plants in response to the Clean Water Act requirements
nobody knew how to run it. so they created new group to decide a new treatment plant
they are looking for somebody who has chemical engineering and biological experience
That was my first job in a environmental area and I kept getting going in and out the environmental area throughout the career
eventually in a health and respond in my career
I'm working now around the world recently to get the toxic substance
Control Act passed by the Congress which is passed last year
So i mean it's all in what you want to do that it really helps to be able to differentiate
yourself in some way younger individuals perspective trying to get as much exposure you can
Don't do internship after internship co-op after co-op in the same general
trying to mix it around I worked for clarity government for now similar roles
in it then I moved to Dell working in production so day-to-day operations of a plant
And then they said okay you can continue doing this role or you can do something else.
and I chose to do something else to get some more exposure, the capital project or project based work
showed me I don't enjoy the day-to-day as much of like having the project and I
have a target goal as opposed to day-to-day solving problems has to come
up and kind of running regularly so as a young individual trying to get as much
exposure as you can that way you can kind of
age what will be the better job coming out of school for you now this is the
best job but what is the best gears towards you
