It's A Small World After All!
It really is a small world after all, isn’t it? Christine and I both went to the same high school, Mayfield Senior School in Pasadena, Ca. Mayfield Sr. hired Waste Less Living for last year’s annual benefit, which many of my family’s friends attended. One benefit’s coordinator, also a fellow alumni and friend, was so impressed with Waste Less Living’s work at the school and Christine’s growing company that she gave me the contact information and told me to inquire about a job opportunity. The timing was perfect, as I had just moved home and was spending my time not getting hired, but watching what Ina Garden was cooking for lunch. I quickly contacted Christine and we met for coffee (both using re-usable mugs of course) and it was evident from the beginning Waste Less Living was going to be a fit. I hoped to convince Christine to take me on as a volunteer with the hope of working my way up the ladder, or, maybe even get an official internship!, should I be so lucky. I was more than lucky. I was hired as an official employee of Waste Less Living. And, where was one of my first sales calls? Mayfield Jr. School, my elementary school for 9 years. It’s a small, small world.
