Greetings Listeners!
A stop at the port of call known as Leadership Island! On this episode of The Cave Boat, Captain Michael welcomes aboard fellow CalHR Academy Emerging Leader Award recipient Eric Jenkins.
Eric has held positions in private sector since he was little working for his dad's radio station, then when he was 15 since he was home schooled and was able to work almost full time: everything from fast food, to grocery stores to car lots.
Eric had a knack for talking to people and a passion for people, so he went into sales for a while: auto, vacuums, etc. eventually found my way into police academy and then while in police academy he fell in love with the medical side and went immediately into EMS school, where he worked in both BLS, CCT transport as well as the 911 system for almost 7 years. He then left to work for a friend in a business start up, and after 3 years the business was sold to investors and he entered into government work as an Office Technician to get his foot in the door.
After a year, Eric skipped Staff Services Analyst and went straight into the Associate Governmental Program Analyst classification, then Staff Services Manager I, and was ultimately promoted to Staff Services Manager II (Managerial) where he is currently the Chief of Business Services for Fi$Cal.
Welcome aboard the virtual cruise ship!
Captain Caveman
