I get to help the biggest brands in the world conduct market research used to make decisions which have a real impact.
Any tips for someone who is considering a role at Qualtrics?
Don't give up. I was initially rejected from the interview process by an external recruiter as I didn't have enough experience. But I knew I wanted to work at Qualtrics and was persistent.
What are your aspirations in career/life?
I want to lead an Enterprise Sales Team at Qualtrics in the next 7 years.
What is your top #LifeHack?
Be relentless. When you know you really want something, do whatever it takes to make it happen. If you are rejected for a job you want, get feedback on why then apply again. If you want your next promotion, talk to your manager about what it's going to take and then put a plan in place to get there.
