Detail Oriented Interests

Things that have been detail oriented have always caught my attention. No matter what it was, if it was something mechanical, like Dad working on the lawn mower in the back yard, or if he was working on plumbing jobs at our home, it always caught my eye and I was easily lured to it rather than something like doing my homework or studying for a test. I later found myself building things in his workshop like shelves, toys, and any invention that I thought I could build. This lead me into an interest in drafting when I was in high school. The drafting classes lead to designing homes, and machine parts. This lead me into taking CAD classes and then professional jobs in CAD. Working in the design industry, I quickly learned that I had an interest in business. I was soon analyzing how the company I worked for made blueprints and compared in-house production costs to outsourcing blueprint production. This lead me back to school to gain a degree in business and operations management. The common denominator in everything I was doing, I found it to be all detail-oriented. If it was detail oriented, it lured me in. Now that I work at EngineerSupply, I find myself lured once again to the details. The details of how we can best help a customers request for excellent customer service. The details of how we can most effectively and efficiently process a customers order and shipment. I guess the bottom line is we enjoy the detail oriented tasks and we work to figure them out and make the better. I think anyone in the design industry enjoys the details. This is certainly something to think about when you're dealing with detail-oriented customers.
