Graduated around 2008 as the economy was crashing, and struggled to find anything. Eventually got hired at a call center for a large company (about a year after I had applied for it). After a few years of that I was able to transfer into a different department where I didn’t have to deal with customers directly, then kept getting promoted to different positions until I found one I was really comfortable in.
I’m kind of in between the business and tech. I make sure some of our internal software is running correctly and I run SQL queries and stuff to look for problems in our data. I can help create stories to pass to IT for them to develop fixes for issues or for new functionality in our software.
