Jay's New Job


After 9 years of selling Term Life Insurance for SelectQuote, Jason decided he was ready for a career change. He told himself (and me) that his goal would be, by 2012 he would no longer be selling insurance.

He has a strong passion for technology, social networking and web development and knew that he wanted to find a sales job in tech. After interviews with a few companies, he spoke with one of our friends that currently works for Oracle and was able to get an interview. Jason crammed for a week studying everything he needed to know about Oracle and even had some one on one tutoring sessions with my Dad. He ended up getting the job and started this past Monday. He will be doing Inside Sales in their Hardware Department in the Banking/Financial Services sector. We all smiled when we found out what territory he was assigned since my Dad worked in Database Management for Bank of America for 20 years. Luckily he now has a mentor that can teach him all the details about the Banking World. After commuting for a decade on Bart, Jay is now driving to the South Bay. I was a little worried about the commute, but it has turned out to not be too bad.

I am so happy for him and know that he is going to do amazing. He is so excited to be working for a company that has so much growth potential, is challenging and will really push him to learn and be the best he can be. I know he is up for the challenge and I can't wait to see him grow and succeed. Congrats Jay! You always work so hard for our family and I know this is your opportunity to shine. AND Thank You Adam Scott! We are so thankful for your recommendation.
