What has been your proudest accomplishment post-CW?

My kids

I don’t think that College Works Painting had too much impact on my career immediately after graduation. My degree is in Chemistry and after graduating I took a position at GlaxoSmithKlein. It payed well but I was really not interested in it, or the entire field. What I really wanted was to start my own company in the beauty industry! So finally I left and started from scratch in a salon. I did a lot of cold calling and selling myself to build up my clientele. This is an area where I used things from my experience with College Works Painting. But where I am seeing my College Works Painting experience impact my career the most is now, 4 years later. From the very beginning of planning the company, the process of starting the company, recruiting for my company, marketing and sales – I’m thinking back to my CWP experience through it all. But most of all, it’s what I learned about myself that has propelled my career the most – I am extremely goal oriented and I work best when I set ridiculously high goals!
