An Optometric Assistant/technician is the "information gatherer" before the patient sees the doctor. They use instruments and document a LOT of information. Precision and attention to detail are essential. An ability to learn large amounts of information is required. Here are some requirements more difficult to describe:

1. Know that you will move/work All.Day.Long. This is not a job for anyone who gets easily overwhelmed or for anyone physically unable to be on their feet for 8 hour days.

2. Have an OVERLY positive attitude. You will meet all kinds of people in this work and not all are happy. We love them all anyway, we SERVE them all anyway. If you get upset if someone is short or tense with you, this is not a job for you.

3. Be a team player. We are building a company based on communication and teamwork. If you don't like to ask for help or struggle with an overuse of the phrase..."that's not my job",...this is not the job for you.

4. Have a desire to grow both personally and professionally. Most people who struggle in our company do so because they want an easy job that they clock in and clock out of daily with little to no personal growth. When you are home we want you enjoying your home life, but when you are at work, we want you engaged, we want you excited to learn and grow. Anyone can push buttons and run reports...we want someone who believes that they should never stop learning. If you want "easy" or "relaxed", this is not the job for you. We believe that service at it's BEST is an active quality...it takes constant effort which will never be easy but will be hugely rewarding.

5. Don't be dramatic. If you've been told you are a high drama person...please don't apply. If you're highly sensitive or averse to hard work, call in absent frequently, or have ever been told that you struggle to honor your word or lack follow-through...seriously...don't apply.
