I worked on a job that I believed that I would have until I retired from corporate America. Throughout my career, I received many promotions, accolades and raises. In January 1988, after leaving the US Army, I relocated to Dallas Texas began working for FoxMeyer Drug Company which was later purchased by McKesson Corporation. I stayed with the company for 24 years until I reached the glass ceiling that no one wants to talk about existing and was forced out. In the beginning under FoxMeyer Drug Company, I rose up in the ranks and established myself from coming into the company as a temporary to being hired as manager establishing a national accounts department and running the department. During my career and tenure, I was named the account
I graduated high school back in 1994. I was engaged to be married in just two years, and even though I joined the Pennsylvania Air National Guard right after graduation it was only one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. So I needed a full-time job. A friend of the family knew a guy who was opening a second store, and was going to need a store manager. I took the job and got started. What I didn’t know was the guy I was just hired to work for was a little confused as to what he wanted. I hung onto the job for a little over a year hoping it would turn around but, no dice.

I was making a lot more money on the floor then at the front registers, especially with the commission checks rolling in on special orders. I was making a solid figure and decided to take a road trip with two of my best friends, however the road trip ended up going for about 4 weeks. I only had enough vacation for 2 weeks, but we didn’t want to return, so I decided to call out, but that only lasted so long. Upon my return, I was let go from my job, since I failed to abide to the company’s attendance policy. I was unemployed for about 2 months, when I was referred to Best Western International Corporate office. During my unemployment period, I felt miserable and was extremely disappointed in my decision. I didn’t want my family to find out, so I would go out and hang out at my friend’s place and return after an 8-hour shift. I was hired on to Best Western in 2008, where I was a reservations agent taking inbound calls for hotel reservations. I quickly moved around departments getting crossed trained in a number of different fields, which included Rewards and Customer Service and worked on the Language team helping Spanish callers. I then became promoted to a Lead and Customer Care Fulfillment
My father, Floyd Babcock, retired from Oldsmobile (a division of General Motors) after 25 years. Each night he would come home from work angry and frustrated. Management would keep the workers in a constant state of suspense regarding their future. It was the primary reason that I did not attempt to get a job in the local automobile industry.
I began my career with Verizon Wireless just under five years ago, with an attitude similar to that which most of my current employees have: I was starting a new ‘job’ that paid well until I figured out what I wanted to do. My background was in education, but I wanted to continue learning and trying other things before settling into teaching, and I could not be happier with the way things have turned out. I very quickly realized that Verizon would be more than a ‘job’. It is a company I am proud to say has shaped my career.
I was seen as a smart, young, athletic coming out of college and with some convincing I got a position managing agents of athletes, performers, and artists. I made $120,000 with that job which was great especially because this was my first big job. Through the years I have been working my way up the ranks. I hope that one day I will be able to do something big like being the CEO of Nike or something like that as I said earlier.
Prescription drug prices are increasing and it is becoming much more difficult for people that rely on healthcare to purchase them. Branded prescription drugs, specialty prescription drugs, and even generic products like ibuprofen have been inflating in the last 7 years. There are a number of reasons to attribute to the said inflation over the last 7 years. Newly approved branded and specialty prescription drugs and the rising costs of existing branded and specialty prescription drugs.
Since its humble beginning as a small drugstore, Merck has placed a large amount of importance on improving the health and well-being of its customers. As drug patents expire and genetic forms of their top products become available, Merck’s strategy is to do the unexpected; instead of raising the price of their older products in favor of patent protected new drugs, Merck focuses on reducing their cost in order to better compete with their generic counterparts. Additionally, Merck’s plan for growth now encompasses a much more aggressive pursuit of new drugs in their pipeline through extensive research. Merck became the second largest health care company in the world after the merger with Schering-Plough in 2009 and has

I was a Toy Department Manager for 3 years. In 2003 I transferred to a different store in order to focus on my education.

Laid off from my previous company - end of December, from Red Fuse Communications. Actively searching for a company, that is challenging, rewarding, and is local. I'm American, and working for a company that is American made and proud of their products would be a self rewarding job to wake up to each
While finishing my sophomore year of college, I applied, and was offered a position as a Desk Manger for the Department of Residence Life and Housing. Although this may seem inconsequential, I was the first ever sophomore hired for this position. This job required administrative skills, time management capabilities, and the ability to supervise over 30 people at any given time. Starting out in this position, I found myself to be very strict as a supervisor and had to learn to be more flexible with the many personalities that I was working with. It was during that first year that I made a personal choice to expand my knowledge and leadership so that I could become a better leader. By the second semester, I was voted staff member of the year and was given many accolades from my employees and coworkers. I continued working in this position for the remainder of my college journey. During this time, I was able to supervise over 200 people and take on more responsibility. Also while in this position, I was assigned as a Resident Assistant taking on dual roles, while still maintaining my grades.
Working for Morgan Stanley I was the youngest cashier they ever had which presented several challenges for me which included being confronted about my age, comprehension and experience. I pride myself on being able to not only operate professionally and gracefully with difficult co-workers but through my actions and discipline I upheld the highest standards of transparency which in turn earned their respect. Another past experience would be the time I spent as a Shift Supervisor at Starbucks. In this position I was responsible for consistent customer service provided by all employees, recognition of employee’s achievements and overall shift success. Throughout my time I also took advantage of every opportunity I could and became a certified Barista, Learning Coach (Trainer) and Coffee
I have had the great oppurity to work for the College of Science and Mathematics Dean’s Office for over two years. Whie at the same time, working at the Shooting Sports Education Center. Both jobs were amazing departments to work for. However, I resigned from both jobs to look for one single job that would give me enough hours and pay. While employed at both departments I learned much about professionalism, celergical skills, and much more useful experience. I have listed examples of specific things I did for these departments:
It was in the early spring of 2014 and I was having a blast working for Hercules Tire in Compton, a subsidiary of Cooper Tire. I mean this place was a dream job, the salary was great, the health benefits were amazing, and the 401K was fully vested from the moment you started working there, and I was on my way to becoming a sales executive and maybe even VP of Sales. Our sales team was great and I really enjoyed working with them. Until the dreaded and awful day came where the very same company that I had left to go to Hercules Tire, was in the process of buying us out. At the time I was attending Business-17 here at El Camino and was halfway through the course. I was so confused about what I was going to do next, that I decided to confide
