What was your most memorable summer job?
The most memorable summer job would be working for my dad in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. He would take me to a fenced in plot where each tree had a pole next to it with a number. I was given a notebook with corresponding numbers and would need to measure the new growth on EVERY tree in the plot. Meaning each tagged tree needed a number. I believe the plots were an acre each, perhaps two.
Then I would enter the information into a computer. The pay was great and it was better than working at the drive-thru espresso!...

I had an ialmost insurmountable recruiting task a few years ago: hire 35 people worldwide for a brand new sales organization and get it done in 6 months. Wendy was an absolutely astounding resource/partner in meeting the goal and meeting it well. She is an oustanding recruiter and a wonderful, warm person, too.
