Good cable building skills

Greetings I work in very friendly environment sometimes we don't feel the pressure of dead lines for cables to be delivered. Challenges only happen when fix some cable defects because some steps are irreversible. I like analysing cable data pack and challenge some decisions made to my suoervisor. The company does also electronic warfare controllers but I have not be invited to be part of its construction. I feel bad about that because I have ND in electronics but now I work in cable building department. I want to develop my skills of interest. I work with good people.

Pros: nice exposure!

Excellent platform for furthering my education

I was responsible for interpreting data gathered from field research; I would then have the responsibility of generating excel spreadsheets with said data. My knowledge of excel, word and other computer based programmes has improved considerably. I enjoy being a part of a leading research team in the field of developmental and clinical psychology.

Pros: Allowed for the building of relationships with respected academics, and it has taught me valuable research techniques.
Cons: The jobs I get are not consistent, thus I do not have a consistent income
