Q1: Career path
Haley, could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Any internships or jobs you had before your current role?
"Yeah, definitely. So in college, I got my start with an internship called College Works Painting. Basically, we learned everything from sales, marketing, hiring, and finances of running small house painting businesses."
"I grew with that company for four years while in college. I started as an intern and worked my way up to regional sales manager, where I ran a team. Even before my first big career role after graduation, I was responsible for over a million dollars in sales and revenue."
"Right after college, I joined Michael Page, a global headhunting firm. I was there for four years doing executive recruiting and recruiting for supply chain and procurement in the consumer goods space."
"Through that role, I got to recruit for many different positions. Then, I took a one-year contract at Apple to gain tech experience. While at Michael Page, I had started building a side business."
"After a year at Apple, I decided to take my side business full-time. So now I'm a full-time entrepreneur, running my business teaching personal finance and investing for women. It's amazing, so that's what I do now."
