Operations Manager for The Job Post
Why Nick works at The Job Post:
I’ve had a lot of jobs in my life and all of them were self-serving. I quickly lost my way and became quite miserable. As I strive to find my sense of self in life and some measure of purpose, I’ve found being of service to others is a most fulfilling place to start.
Favorite part of the job:
When I feel like I’ve been directly involved in someone changing their circumstances through sustainable employment.
Freetime fun:
I enjoy being near the water, playing with my dogs, exercising, going to movies, and long car rides with the windows down and the music blaring.
Favorite The Job Post experiences:
There is a certain rhythm I’ve only found at GLR where I can be having a busy, focused, work orientated morning one minute and then the next, I’m having a deep, meaningful conversation with another staff member or client about guiding principles for a better way of living. I’ve never experienced something quite like it.
Favorite place to eat:
Le Kebob
Favorite GLR lunch question:
Adjectives that describe Nick:
Passionate, balanced, diligent, courageous and weird.
One of Nick’s quirky loves:
I have such an affinity for animals, spending time with my dogs just fills my heart.
