Work Experience

  • Mar 2008 - present
    scottsdale, AZ (US)
    Online Consultant
    CareerBuilder.com
    I sell advertising to employers in California. The job is a good mix of semi-Boiler-Room-style cold calling, account management, and learning how to consult with clients while also attempting to score bonuses by hitting quotas.

    CareerBuilder, as the name implies, is a good place to gain sales experience and start a future career. It's a growing company and has a pretty awesome work environment because the average age at this office is probably 25. The benefits are also some of the best out there-- like $14/ month for comprehensive health insurance, low co-pays, and 17 days of vacation, which you start accruing right off the bat.

    CareerBuilder's internal working philosophy is "disciplined freedom." This means, work hard, get stuff done, be responsible, then do whatever you want.
