One week ago, I began my new career as a corporate data security specialist. My new company’s has been inundating me with information to get up the speed quickly on the products. I was worried at first that I wouldn’t have enough to do. Well, my worries quickly faded as the week went on. I quickly realized that there just wasn’t enough time in the day to absorb everything.

The flood gates were opening and I was feeling drowned with a lot of information. I was tasked with learning everything I could about corporate data security, data governance, server data permissions and so on. When I first accepted the position, I thought I knew a lot about servers and the day-to-day management of a Windows Server infrastructure. Well, turns out, I didn’t know as much as I thought.

I’m only a week into learning how to demonstrate and install the products. The great thing is the amount of information and support available.

Well, after several weeks of interviews and submitting resumes, I just accepted a position as a “Sales Engineer” for a software company that provides solutions for enterprise server systems. They are extremely unique in the Unix world in offering a management tool for managing data access.

My new company, is based in New York and their sales teams are “virtually” spread across the country. So, I’ll be working frommy home office and supporting the local sales opportunities here in the Denver area along with several other near by major metropolitan areas. Additionally, I’ll be responsible for facilitating the installations and implementation process for new customers and their projects.

I don’t officially start until Monday April the 7th. However, in the mean time, I’ve been slowly getting setup to hit the ground running and gaining access to all of the important company systems. I’m basically in that “getting all of the paperwork together” stage. So far, I’ve found the company to be VERY communicative, responsive and forthright. Looks like a great bunch of people to be working with.
