HALEY POWERS – INDIANA UNIVERSITY 2018
Where did you go to school?
I went to Indiana University where I studied business management.
How did you first hear about Arrive?
Abby Penland is a good friend of mine and she works in recruiting here at Arrive. I had seen her post stuff about Arrive on LinkedIn and I told her that I was interested in moving down to Austin. Shortly after, an opportunity opened up, so she reached out to me and told me about the position and what Arrive does. After interviewing, I was offered the job and I accepted!
What keeps you here?
I like the challenge that comes with this job. You’re not doing the same exact thing every day, there’s always something different. No matter what the challenge is, everyone around you is rooting for you and trying to help you to be the best you can be. It’s not always easy when you first start a job and you are trying to learn the ropes but everyone here wants to see you succeed and are more than willing to help.
Have any advice for soon to be college grads?
Be open-minded about your career. When you go to school they want you to decide what your specific major is right away but I had no idea what I wanted to do when I started college. My advice is to be open to new opportunities and don’t put yourself in a box. Especially after graduation, when you’re getting your first full-time job, you’re not really going to know whether you love it or not until you give it a try. It is always a little scary starting something new but I promise you won’t regret it!
