What kinds of skills did you learn at Optimax that you couldn't learn in a classroom? I've learned to develop my social skills a lot better than sitting in a classroom, as well as being able to manage more than one project at once.
What I learned about optics: The materials used for optics aren't just restricted to glass. They can also be made out of crystals, glass, and sometimes plastics.
What I learned about manufacturing: I've learned to come up with out of the box solutions to help increase the efficiency and success of the manufacturing process.
Why I like working at Optimax: The community here is something that is entirely unique and one that I'm sure I will never find anywhere else.
The best part of Optimax in one word: Community
