What is something you wish you could tell yourself as a PWID student that would have helped prepare you for where you are now? I ended up talking to several friends of friends about jobs before I landed this one. Tell lots of people that you’re job searching and ask them to keep an eye out for you. I would just recommend really putting yourself out there. A graduate had contacted him about the job, and he mentioned it to me. I did lots of searching on job sites and had a lot of interviews from that, but I ended up hearing about this job from Professor Carrington. How did you land the job? Any tips for current PWID students? So, I’d say that outside of the workplace, my life is more balanced. When I’m done working for the day, I’m done! I don’t have homework constantly hanging over my head.

I really like working full time (as compared to school) because it naturally comes with clear boundaries. So, collaboration is a big part of my job! The communication team is small, but I talk to pretty much everyone in the company at one time or another because every employee writes for the blog. Since lots of people do work remotely pretty often, I usually spend lots of time messaging authors about their work and getting the information I need. The office space is really open, so while I spend a lot of time at my desk working on documents and calendars, I don’t feel at all isolated. We have office events for that (for example, once a month a team member cooks a meal for the rest of us). Team building is also really important to Sparkbox. The culture is very education focused-everyone is always wanting to learn more and teach me something new. I work 40 hours a week, but I get to choose how I arrange those hours throughout the week. We all have the opportunity to work from home if we need to. What does your life as a full-time employee look like in and outside of the workplace?
