Career Choices
- Test
Yourself! Do you like to...Solve
problems? Work with people? Apply what you know? Have variety?
- If
you answered "yes"
to these questions, consider a CAREER in Quality
Control and Improvement. Join the ECU Student Chapter of ASQ
to learn about a career in quality and to help enhance your career
opportunities.
What Does
a Quality Professional Do?
As a
Quality Professional, you design and implement processes and procedures
that will eliminate bad product and service.
Why is a Quality Professional Essential?
When companies or organizations produce bad product or deliver
poor service, it costs. Rework, warrenty expenses, and legal issues
eat today's profits, and bad publicity erodes future market share and profits.
(Dissatisfied customers on average tell 10 others; those satisfied tell
on average 1 to 2 others!)
