“Here we are – almost a year and a half into my dream job, all thanks to Hope! One day I got a call. It was Hope. She saw my resume and had an opportunity for me, one that was for the brightest young sales talent. I was all ears. It was a job I didn’t think I had a chance at getting! After a few weeks of literally coaching me every single step of the way and believing in me, I got the job. It opened up a whole new world for me. It really allowed me to start chasing my professional dreams. I’m so glad to still have a relationship with Hope, and I know she’ll always have my back and be there for me. Thank you, Hope – for not only getting me the job I wanted, but teaching me so much along the way”
