- Most Exciting Part of Career:
The most exciting part of my career to date is the ability to
work in many different functional areas of the automotive business.
Having both Engineering and Business degrees makes me qualified
for a broad cross section of job functions. The most enjoyable
jobs have been those where I have interacted with many different
people on hands-on projects. It's always fun to take the product
home for friends and family to evaluate.
- Toughest Barriers to Overcome to Reach Current Position:
The toughest barriers that I have had to overcome recently are
finding a flexible job that allows me more time with my family,
while still remaining in a "mainstream" work assignment. Typically,
when people choose to work part-time or as a job-share, the only
jobs available are "side assignments" that will not help direct
a career up the promotion ladder. It is a challenge to remain
visible and be seen as a valuable contributor when in a part-time
assignment. I am trying to change the corporate stigma attached
to part-time workers, and prove that I am efficient and focused
enough to handle the responsibilities at work.
