From “FOUR” to “WELCOME ABOARD”

Posted October 2, 2010 by Jennifer Burchfield

Jennifer PhotoSo one night I am looking online and I see this simple but elegant job posting.  At the time I was very content with a job I had loved for over 6 years on a beautiful golf course, but thought it never hurts to put your feelers out to see what might be around the corner….and WOW am I glad I did….From the first interview to the last I was continually impressed by each person that I met.  What stood out for me the most was how they where a family run business, and they took great pride in where they started and where they were at today.

Then I was invited as part of my interview to work one of the events along their seasoned GM.  This is where this small but very efficient company came to life.  Every employee I met treated me as if they had known me forever, and watching the team work together was like a fine oiled machine….in talking to them I found out how many of the staff had been there for well over 10 years, still smiling and still very happy…..this speaks volumes to me about the company….half way through the event I realized that this was the place I wanted to be at and I called my husband and said if they offer me the job I am taking it…..

So from a golf course where people yell “four” to let you know they are going to hit you…… to “welcome aboard”….simply means….. I am in for a smooth ride.
