Comment on How did you get your job?

Well, I got fired from a very stupid company (who would have guessed that healthcare companies needs more assistance instead of less during COVID? Not them.) when COVID hit.
Started my own company from the severance,so basically I hired myself and created my own job…and a few more.
Couldn’t be happier.

Interesting! Kudos to you for taking such a step. Is it in the same field?

Yes and no. Old job was more IT and process related, nowadays I work more in disaster planning , public health policy and process planning in healthcare, spiced up with a bit of medical intelligence.
Basically hospitals, large companies and government bodies are legally required to have plans for major incidents (from “hey,there has been a train collision, you get 30 severely injured in 20min” to “shit,we lost all power” or “IT outtake”) - we do the planning and training, including life exercises for you. You want to update your healthcare system/the placement of your prehospital resources(ambulances, etc.) as a state or government body? We do that that for you.
You need to know which hospital in a random African country is the right one for a tourist with a sudden rare disease or your insurance wants to know how safe it is to send on of your staff members someone right into the current emerging disease hotspot? We do that for you.
