Hi all,
I'm struggling with my career. I got a MA last year in Organizational Behavior Management (process improvement, employee motivation, and training). I'm having trouble translating that into job titles. (Last year I was a data analyst, right now I'm a titleless institutional culture change researcher.)
I think what I would really like to do is focus on the process improvement, and as far as I can tell the main way to do that is through LEAN/6-sigma. I don't have any certifications because I've always said I would wait until a company paid for those. But because I've never done anything, I don't know any of the language, buzz words, etc. Question: How much lean/6-sigma do I need to know to get a job? How can I get experience in it while I am looking for a job?
I know "energy" is a big field, big enough that it could support someone like me. But I don't know anything about the field and don't really know where to start looking. I would like to work in renewables because (a) it's cutting edge, and (b) I support it politically. Question: Where can I learn more about this field, e.g. what the big companies are, what they are looking for, current challenges etc?
thanks!
