Sometimes Life Throws You A Curve Ball
Sometimes life makes you wonder if everything is going wrong for a reason. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball without any inclination to warn you. Not to make this into a pity party, but that mostly summed up my life right before I began working at Incept.
I was a full-time college student working a full-time, third shift job (plus a part-time job, as well). I had just moved out of my parents’ house and was trying to be a big girl in the real world. I had moved to a new town to be closer to my college, so I had no friends… yet. Not only was money an issue, but finding time to actually sleep was also becoming more and more difficult.
Finding Incept
In the midst of all this, I decided to go to a job fair. Once I got there, the staffing personnel told me all about Incept. I must say, it was love at first sight when I saw the Incept Facebook page. It completely blew my mind that a company was using Facebook and actually posting regularly! The attitudes of the employees floored me, and the work environment (from what I could gather) was so welcoming.
Naturally, when I went in for the interview, my walls were up. However, as soon as I saw the people, I was astonished once again. They not only acted awesome on the internet, they were just as wonderful in person. The first person I met at Incept was Brian, my trainer. He was so much fun to talk with, and so excited about his job, that he got me thrilled to start.
Doing a 180
Since Day 1, I keep meeting new people and making real friends. I have been at Incept for about two months now, and let me tell you I am NEVER leaving. I never thought a job choice could turn things around for me, but my stress level has done a 180. I couldn’t be happier with where I’m at now; I couldn’t be happier that I’m at Incept.
