after thinking about this for quite sometime, mark made the decision to leave teaching in pursuit of a career in business. he would have made a great impression on students, with his personable qualities and love of learning, and would have made and even more amazing tennis coach. unfortunately, because of tight budgets throughout the state and all the layoffs an opening in social sciences/history never came up—which led us to open our options to a new career.in late november mark started looking and applying for new positions. he quickly got a call from a rep from CDW and started the interviewing process. after two phone interviews he was invited to meet with managers at the mettawa, illinois location. shortly after an offer to join the team was extended! he got the job!
his new job is in sales and he's really excited about it. CDW has an extensive training program that lasts 6-weeks and continues for 6 months after you actually are allowed to start selling. he is selling IT products and services to small businesses (100 or less employees) throughout the US. can't go wrong with technology! it will definitely be a challenge and a change of pace, but we're really excited about his new career.
we have heard many great things about CDW and people starting where mark is and have done really well for themselves. we are so grateful that mark has the opportunity to work at such a great company and excited for what the future holds!
