I'm the person that you see in the courtroom that sits there in types everything everybody says and I've worked my way up the ladder to a judicial specialist for which is at the highest of the ladder with exception to management. I'm help desk technician for the Iowa Judicial branch. I enjoyed being in the clerk's office and assisting court issues that they had, assisting them with jury didn't know that I would find a job that I like this well and I feel very lucky to have landed here, I think here at the courthouse. And with the judicial branch, something that is very valuable is that there's always room to expand, there's always knowledge to gain, and there's always a place to go. Every day is different in this job. Some days I'm in a jury trial. Some days it might be very quiet and I just have time to sit in my office and work on transcripts and kind of catch up on other work. It's just been extremely fulfilling and I love my job. And I think that just is true with court reporters across the state. These people here, not only do they. Care about their job and the public that comes in here, but they care about one another and that makes a big difference in the work culture. My best advice would be to someone looking for employment in the judicial branch is if you're interested in criminal, civil, any aspects of the court and justice, this is the place for you. The wages that benefits is just extraordinary. The benefits are huge. It's not beat anywhere so you have. Your vacation time, your sick time, your IPERS benefits. But as far as the best part is just the people that we work with, everybody's family. It's a community. Feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to work for the branch. I kind of fell into it and I wouldn't trade a day. If you're interested in working for the judicial branch, I say don't hesitate, apply, reach out to us. We are so happy to help and eager to help and any position in the judicial branch. Early.
