“I wasn’t necessarily looking for this but I’m happy I found it,” said 2011 college graduate Megan Riedel. With a double major in finance and marketing, Riedel pictured herself in a corporate finance or marketing position. She didn’t see herself serving clients in an open, collaborative environment like Businessolver.
Riedel, a Client Services Manager at Businessolver, interned in a more structured environment where her tasks didn’t vary much from day to day. “I have a lot of freedom here,” Riedel said. “I like excitement and learning, and I’m learning something new every day. My job isn’t getting static. I don’t have the same ‘to-do list’ every day.”
When she began her job search a year ago, Riedel was looking for something that fit her lifestyle and where she wouldn’t be bored. “People in my generation are enthusiastic and energetic,” she said, noting that it can be difficult for them to settle into the cubicle life. “I didn’t realize this kind of environment existed.” Businessolver’s open environment defies isolated cubicle work and invites collaboration. She enjoys the work hard, play hard atmosphere, where work expectations are high but employees are rewarded with fun. “We have parties all the time and we’re encouraged to get creative every day,” she said.
Riedel’s advice to young people just beginning their job search. “Keep your mind open,” she said. “A lot of people my age have a strict set of guidelines that they feel they have to have in a job. This job wouldn’t have fit into what I had set as my guidelines. But I absolutely love what I do.”
Recent college graduates might be interested in a variety of positions available at Businessolver right now, says Recruiting Manager Lori Vander Zyl. “We are looking for Client Services Managers, like Megan’s position,” she said.
