Why yes I do. I have had many jobs. In that one, I had to sort through resumes and classify them by experience. I also answered benefits questions and gave typing tests to new potential hires. And I coded the current employee work plans to reflect which ones should come up for a pay raise (hint: ALWAYS fill in each blank on performance review cards, especially in the goals section).
But the best part was def helping interview. I got to be the BS detector. Nelly, they said, you're the BS detector. So I took notes on their education and quizzed them about simple stuff they'd have to know to have a, say, history degree. Or economics. Or whatever. The one thing I remember is that the ones who asked about benefits never got the job. Hence I NEVER ask about benefits during a job interview, I wait for them to bring it up.
But most of the experience the people had went mainly over my head, cos I didn't know anything about the securities industry. There's a lot to know, it seems!! And you'd be surprised how many had been suspended for illegal trading!
