College Works Career Impact
In one sentence, what has CW meant to you?
Amazing life experience
How did your CW experience impact your career? Immediately after graduation? Now?
Yes. I gained significant amount of leadership and self confidence through my College Works Painting experience.
What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?
When working with people, identify win win situations. Also, find out what motivates them and use that to your advantage.
Advice
What advice do you have for potential CW participants? Current CW participants?
Don’t be afraid. You see something you want, go after it. Make sure you plan and plot first, then get the right coaching (district manager) and then just go for it. Don’t be afraid to fail. You probably will initially but keep at it and you’ll persevere. Lastly, until then, have enough resources to keep you afloat so that you never get to desperate throughout this experience.
What’s your best advice for someone interested in entering your career field?
If you’re not 100% sure you know what to do. Then do College Works Painting. The experience is very transferable to anything you do and will help you land that awesome internship/job.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
Watching Lulu Deng paint. Or at least try to. It’s better than a comedy show. :)
Last words of wisdom?
What doesn’t break you builds character.
