So I was very excited about starting on the production line. Even when they hired me, they asked me, did I want to start there? And I told them, yes, I will get where I want to be eventually.

I needed to know what the product was about and what Sony did, and I figured working on the production line, that will tell me exactly what Sony does and will better educate me on Sony's product line.

As long as you have some initiative and show Sony that you have a goal, Sony allows you to reach your goals, so I knew I would get there.


On the production line, I was inspecting CRTs, picture tubes, and you know, inspecting those for defects, working with many different people. I got along very well with a lot of people, and again, as I said before, Sony is very team oriented.

Because I work well with people and because of my previous background in fast food, hiring people, training people, sometimes unfortunately even firing people, and bringing people up through the company, that related to human resource skills. So I went out for a job as a Human Resource rep and I got that job as a Human Resource rep. And in that job I found myself working with many, many more people than I was on the production line.

Then from Human Resources I started a second shift in the display monitor business which is where I work, building computer monitors right now.
