One of the first jobs of my career with the company that I work for was that I was in charge of handling the documents for the company.  This was a very important job in our organization and as such I had to be both knowledgeable and careful with the information under my control.

It wasn’t that I was just managing simple business forms, but I was in charge of the document storage and disposal within the organization.  Included many different things including recruitment documents, employment documents and other sensitive information.

The individual that was in charge of the document handling before me was fired due to shoddy practices and a lack of care when it came to handling our company’s sensitive information.  In fact, their position within the company was terminated due to a leak of one of our key business systems to a competitor.

Even though I was very successful at my job I am happy that I do not have that kind of responsibility anymore.
