College Works Career Impact

In one sentence, what has CW meant to you?

College Works Painting was the best summer of my life, that I never want to do again.

How did your CW experience impact your career? Immediately after graduation? Now?

I think that doing College Works Painting as a freshman provided me with experience to hire into top-tier internships and co-ops. More long-term, it provided me with leadership skills and client-interaction skills, something I leverage on a daily basis.

What do you want to tell your clients about what it meant to work with them and how it has helped you get to where you are today?

The lady who was so happy when we did her deck for her son’s graduation party later that weekend. It had rained earlier that week so we kept pushing back the job, but on Friday afternoon, we had a window, and we worked into the night and she was so happy.

What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?

Everything can be fixed,

Advice

What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?

The summer during your College Works Painting internship will be the most rewarding summer of your life — be willing to learn. And when it get’s tough, just remember, it’s only a paint job and it can always be fixed.

What’s your best advice for someone interested in entering your career field?

This will provide you with the experience to be a leader in your field. Professional Internships are great, but College Works Painting is going to provide you with leadership experience you can apply in ways you won’t get from those professional opportunities. You’ve got what, 3 summers in college? DO BOTH. Also, College Works Painting is better than working at a pool or a restaurant, in all cases.
