Analyst

I spent my career as an Analyst, yes a programmer as well, but I worked independently and most of my work was analyzing and developing systems and applications by working with people and groups and developing programs to satisfy their needs.  I worked for a company that was big enough to employ me while at the same time small that I knew the people I worked with and was felt a responsibility to them.

I say the above in way of explanation for the following thought.  Even though I have always been known for having a motor mouth,

AN ANALYST CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMER or client and putting their needs first

I say this because I have a person who purports to have been an analyst in the prior career and I wonder how really successful she was when she does not listen to he client at all.
