Position:
Computer Programmer / Analyst
Employer:
Astea International
Job description:
I fix bugs found by our
customers in the software package that our company wrote. I also help
develop specs for custom work that our customers want to enhance the
basic software package.
Salary range:
$40,000 - $55,000
Job satisfaction:
I like my job a lot. I
went into programming because I feel that it requires the same type
of logical thinking and problem solving that Mathematics requires.
Once you learn the language that you need to program in there is little
frustration except for the occasional bug that doesn't want to be
solved. Over all I think that I made a good choice.
Employment history:
I started off with a Manufacturing
company doing Customer Support in the Repair department. I took calls
from customers that wanted to return their equipment for service and
processed the paperwork to complete and return the equipment to the
customer.
I then got a job with my current company doing Customer Support for
our software package. I learned the inside and outs of the software
package and that made my promotion into Programming very smooth.
