Central Services Administrative Specialist
The Department of Health is Minnesota's largest government agency, charged with promoting the health and wellness of the State's 5.4 million people. It manages birth records, assigns professional licenses, promotes nutrition and wellness, and operates a scientific laboratory to conduct analysis and testing on a wide variety of substances. The CSAS position combines internal administrative duties with customer service, shipping and receiving, and facilities management. I was assigned to the laboratory building for my first nine months at MDH, before being transferred to administrative offices at another location.
