JOHN’s Career Stories
When did you get your first Big Break? How did you get it? How did it go?
Hello: I was down to my last $12 dollars in my bank account. I had done a project for an establishment that ended and after months - no new opportunities were filtering into a hire. So, with only that much left, lady luck swept into action and after a 10-minute interview - I was brought into an organization to work full-time - plenty of resumes sent prior to many establishments. 2-4 months go by, working, helping, and always working beyond the call of duty. Had planned time-off, worked out via the hiring process, and took off to Florida. During that time away, the business let me go and hired me again - without saying anything. So, once back, the business specified the reason kept me on was due to a single, large, customer signing and needing to continue my employment for work on that client. Was in that organization for almost 4 years after that. Told myself, that after that $12, that I didn't ever desire to be that low any moment in the time of my roads. This led to having $80,000 in cash in the bank. $30,000+ in stocks at one point. Also helping to send dough to help society individually or within organizations of goodwill. The properties owned with both payments for down payments paid. Sacrifice, dedication, and focus to never want to be down to $12. So, if your cash reserves filter low, you have all that room to heighten from $12 to thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands and higher. Thankful to your path.

What is the most useful piece of career advice you got as a student, and who gave it to you?
Hello: "Try It!". When in a technical schooling, the professor that I had in the commencement course was infamous, though later various grasped how he taught, to tell students who had questions to just try it. Realizing that students, through experience of trying, could fail more and learn quicker and deeper - would utilize this tactic after lessons and for projects. Plenty were upset during, but truly helped to harden the understanding of real-world situations that could appear within their pathways. Grateful within every step your path plants. God Bless, John German
