Dean Robinson I'm trying to change careers by leveraging my skills into an entry level analyst position. I think that the skills that make for a good IT developer/analyst/project manager are very similar to those of a good analyst. I am in a position where I can afford to start over, so leaving behind the old environment and salary scale are non-issues. Does this look odd? How does one convey that they are not just job hunting, but sincere about starting anew at ground zero?

I have had the occasion to go alone on business trips and I am not one to hold up in a hotel room, so I take advantage of the time and go see the place whenever time permits. I enjoy the pleasure of my own company so I do not feel intimidated to do so. I've traveled alone to San Francisco, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Daytona and Minnesota - spent 4 hrs just in Mall of America alone! Whoo-hoo!!

TOP IDEA: Maura V. Pingor If I were to chose 1 experience that has had a major influence in whom I am today, I say it's the opportunity I was given to live in & visit differenct countries: when I was 7 my family moved from Argentina to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. When I was 21 I moved to the US. I have also visited multiple countries. Being exposed to so many different cultures has had a HUGE impact in my life (personally and professionally). Do you have one thing you can point to as a major driver of whom you are today?

In my fifteen years here I've been with two divisions, five businesses, and eleven managers. I've grown in one form or another at each stop. And I've been fortunate to have had great managers, who cared about my career, cliche notwithstanding. I, in turn, am an official mentor to one new young employee and an unofficial one to another. So I guess what I like the best about Citi is the people I work with and for day-to-day.
