"It helped me get used to working with other people, especially people who didn't know as much about a job or situation as I did. Being able to easily explain things to those not informed, especially when they are your client, that was critical."
What Has Been Your Proudest Accomplishment Post-CWP?
Besides graduating with my engineering degree, I was able to run point on a project my first month at my new job. The client was actually one of the most important yet, because they wanted to incorporate new technologies into their machine. One of the reasons I was hired was to help bring our company to the next level by learning these new technologies, and how to incorporate them, and was successfully (eventually) able to get the job completed to everyone's approval.
