Re: New Folks - Please Take a Minute and Introduce Yourself / Say Hello!

Hi,

My name is Christina Cain and I am currently a Sr. Technical Recruiter specializing in placing scientists and highly qualified Engineers. I often come across job orders seeking out Quality Engineers certified in ASQ.
I was guided to this site in hopes if I post a few of my positions, I may get a response back.

Any referrals are welcome as well. It is a difficult industry out there... helping people is what I do- I hope I can get some help back.

Thanks to all!!

I wish all of you welcome to the Cove As usual, I see people from all over the world pouring through the gates. Fantastic, isn't it? So many people from so many places and so many different backgrounds, and yet with a common interest, and a craving for more knowledge.

Hi cove-ers. Here's a little about moi:

1. Name: Lisa Blanchard

2. Job Title: Well, I don't really work. I volunteer at this place and they give me a small stipend on a monthly basis . Ok, seriously, I'm a Standards Officer in the Certification Department.

3. Industry: Standards-related body

4. Company: Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards. My department does mainly Product and Process Certification and implementing ISO 9001 internally. We are located in Castries, Saint Lucia (that's in the Caribeban, if anyone's windering)

5. Length of time in quality function: 2 years or so.

6. Something personal that sets you apart: Hmm. I am pretty creative with my hands. My co-workers seem to look forward to my latest triumphs in baked goods (for a while I thought they actually like me, but now I know better).

7. Your pet peeve in quality: When people totally miss the point of implementing a QMS and focus on generating papers or on putting something together for an auditor. They forget the true benefit is the system functioning effectively.

8. If you could change the world of quality, what would you do? I would like to see more diversity in the world of quality.
