• I choose to quit work to stay home and raise my son. My husband was a homicide detective working long hours, so I had a lot to do at home by myself to keep things running smoothly. Along with the usual household chores, maintaining budgets and finances, and sports activities, I also oversaw our homebuilding process and took care of our aging parents.

• I was a substitute teacher for the remainder of the year in the school's "redirect room." I was sent students who were having behavioral issues in class. I was tasked with helping them regain control over their emotions, if necessary, and focus on their classwork. And then teach or reteach the lesson to help them get through their work.

I was responsible for hiring and managing apartment staff, completing and enforcing legal contracts with residents, sales and retention of residents, working with contractors, maintaining the property, operating within the budget, all accounting, completing daily and monthly reports for the home office, and organizing resident activities.

I was responsible for keeping accurate and detailed records of patient care, as well as correspondence with insurance companies and patients' physicians. My duties included scheduling multi-disciplinary staff visits to patient homes to ensure their nursing and home health aide needs were met. I also developed policies and procedures for maintenance, storage, retrieval, and archiving of medical records.

As the Vault Teller, I would order and disburse coin and currency to the branch tellers, customers, or the main branch. I also identified any transaction errors when debits and credits did not balance. I also prepared daily branch invoices, exchanged foreign currency, maintained the branch ATMs, dealt with the armored car deliveries, trained new tellers, as well as worked my own lobby teller window.
