Back in Oklahoma after a wonderful 48 hours in Houston, TX at the Campus Recruiters Summit. I have so many things to say that I'm going to break up my trip into several posts. I know I know... anticipation!
Many of you probably think that as a campus recruiter my job is to sell the company to you--to make you believe in its mission. Now, I don't have to "sell" anything. I get the privilege of telling you firsthand about an organization that I 100% support and 100% believe in. Seeing is believing in this case.
I arrived in Houston early Thursday evening, and my luck landed me in Jaclyn Youngblood's car for a ride to the hotel. She is the best example of a Talent Development Associate--she's friendly, welcoming, and draws energy from conversing with people. She took the time to take me to the hotel, around the city, and even to dinner. She had just met me, and yet at dinner I felt like we had been friends for a long time. It's a gift. Reasoning Mind sure knows how pick 'em. My fellow campus recruiter, Madeline (from Cornell) arrived later that evening and we hit the hay, as Friday morning at 8am came early.
What a day it was. Arriving at the office, we shared some breakfast and toured the office. The office is a welcoming environment and full of energy--including the people. We met all kinds employees, knowledge engineers, analysts, talent development associates, program coordinators, and even the VP!
Jaclyn's boss, Alex, joined my fellow campus reps and I are for some great discussions about the organization. At lunch, we met the rest of the staff and were allowed questions and to share stories about ourselves. I cannot tell you what a blessing this trip was. The staff at Reasoning Mind is all about their mission: helping kids through math education.
I have so much more to tell you. I really wanna share with you all the specifics my campus recruiters and I talked with Jaclyn and Alex about. But, I'm exhausted and off to bed. Thank you to Reasoning Mind's Houston Team, Jaclyn, Alex, & my fellow campus recruiters for an amazing weekend and awesome look into the company that truly will impact future generations in a positive way. I've never left an organization feeling more sure that I want to be a part of it. That's it for now... but enjoy the first two pictures: #1 Reasoning Mind Campus Recruiters' Team (including our Talent Development Team, bosses Alex & Jaclyn)
