Quality Analyst

A reader from Maryland writes:

I am a Quality Analyst with a major health insurance agency in the
US. The job consists of looking over submitted information to verify that others are doing their jobs better. It is a mundane job that could drive you crazy. I get to work from home more than half ot the week and my boss actually likes me. When I work home I usually do most of my work the night before and then I can take a break the next day. I have meetings to go to but one day I mentioned to my boss that she should only have them on certain days (my days actually in the office) and she’s never had them any other time since. I have to do a few things that are not in my job description, but of course, the benefits outweigh that. And I’m up for my second raise in 6 mths.

Digital Asset Management

A reader from New York writes:

Wow that sounds very technical and sophisticated right? I even have a complicated acronym to go with my bulls**t job: D.A.M. Specialist. More like bulls**t specialist. I work for a few big name photographers in the city and make sure they can find all of their files (photos) and create a backup system so they don’t get lost. This is called “Creating a customized digital workflow, managing a digital archive, and establishing a studio wide file handling protocol”. I’m basically a digital janitor. I clean up what most people are too lazy and didn’t have the foresight to do. It pays well and I am now working from a remote location and able to travel when and where I please.
