Was this a lifelong goal?<\/strong><br \/>\nRoughly seven months after joining the Arora family, I was offered the opportunity to fill the role of Contracts Administrator. This was not a lifelong goal. In fact, I declined the offer the first time it was extended because I didn\u2019t think I would enjoy spending most of the day reading contractual documents. After two unsuccessful attempts to fill the position with others, it was offered to me a second time. The position represented a promotion, and I knew that not having someone in the role was placing a burden on executive-level staff as they now had to add to their already full plates the task of reviewing contractual documents. I decided I didn\u2019t have much to lose but had something to gain by giving the role of Contracts Manager a try. Three years later, here I am.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0What do you enjoy most about your job? What motivates you?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe role is challenging! I have multiple contractual documents in various stages of review and negotiation. Keeping track of what is where requires focus, energy, and good organizational skills. It\u2019s very satisfying each time I get a contract to execution. Most of my career has been spent working in various roles within Engineering Design firms. I can apply my past work experience to my current role and that experience helped make the transition to my current work a little easier. My current role has given me the opportunity to learn.<\/p>\n<p>As to what motivates me, I enjoy being busy, working hard, and having productive workdays. Further, I get to work with many great people, both inside and outside of the Arora family. While we work hard and Arora\u2019s work environment is very professional, we\u2019re allowed to have some fun now and then. Executive Leadership expends some effort to plan meetings and activities that keep the staff abreast of the \u201cstate of the union\u201d and allow the staff to get to know one another outside of work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0What makes you unique and different?<\/strong><br \/>\nTough question! The response to which may be better left to those who have had the opportunity to work with me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0What are your favorite types of projects to work on?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorite type of projects to work on are ones that take less than two hours in any given day so that I can move on to the next project and not stress as I watch new \u201cto do\u201d e-mails coming in for a landing in my e-mail box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0What are your future career goals?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don\u2019t have any set future career goals and would consider any opportunity that complements my lifestyle and for which I think my work experience and personal characteristics are a good match. When I reach retirement age, I\u2019m not sure I see myself being totally unemployed, but maybe a part-time job like working at a pool hall (I\u2019m an amateur, competitive pool player), or a hair salon as an assistant to the stylists or volunteering at an animal shelter would be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.\u00a0How did you come to do what you do?
