College Works Career Impact
In one sentence, what has CW meant to you?
College Works Painting helped give me a real world experience that 99% of college students don’t get to experience helping me tremendously to jump start my career.
How did your CW experience impact your career? Immediately after graduation? Now?
College Works Painting showed me a new level of hard work translating to a MVP of a 250 employee organization within 6 months. More long-term, it’s helped me achieve President’s Club 4/6 years.
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?
George and Barbara Olsen. My biggest job and longest time spent with these clients. They helped give me the confidence as a 19-20 year old to ask for anyone’s business.
What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?
The soft skills were invaluable; not only in my professional life but also personally.
How have the friendships and networks you built during CW affected you?
Still friends with my district manager and one of my best friends who did the internship with me. Some of the greatest times were during trips/incentives around College Works Painting.
