John’s Answer

The thing i like best about my career is the opportunity to travel all over the world and submerge myself in the local culture whether it is in the US or abroad. I get free medical and dental, a predictable paycheck 2 times a month, tuition assistance every year towards a degree of my choosing at a university of my choosing, get challenged to produce results in a competitively stressful environment all while knowing that my contributions directly contribute to deterring threats to America as tensions rise in regions across the world.

I did not intend to join the Navy for 20 years, but I am fortunate that I did. I would not have changed it for the world.

Madison’s Answer

Hi Oscar,

Totally agree with Ana Christina regarding the people you work with. Having a team that is collaborative, diverse and open-minded is very helpful.

I am really inspired by the opportunity for growth and experimentation at my company. I've been able to collaborate with other teams and join projects that traditionally would not fall under my job title. It's a great way to learn about my own strengths and opportunities and create my own career path. Having a company that encourages career growth has become very important to me.

Good luck!

Madison

Max’s Answer

Always my favorite question to answer! As a Recruiter with Disney, I get to work with all of the brands associated under the Walt Disney Company, which have been my favorite brands since I was born. I have worked for other companies that I have put my all into, but the second I was able to work for something I have been passionate about since I can remember, it really puts a totally new perspective into the "work" overall!

Ana Cristina’s Answer

Hi Oscar,

What I love about my career is that I had the chance to worked with so many people from different cultures and backgrounds. Also, I moved around to several countries so that gave me a different perspective about the world and it gave me the confidence to make new friends and not to be shy. Being my my own helped me a lot to become a stronger person and get a job at an amazing company, Okta.

My roles is Marketing Operations Specialist. At Okta the culture is very collaborative and open. People trust you and it is your responsibility to do your job.

Gloria’s Answer

I am an Instructional Designer. I write training that either a trainer teaches live or students take through a web-based platform. The greatest joy of my job is that I get to use my great artistic love, writing, in my daily work. Creating training is an art of its own. Plus I really enjoy the fact that I am changing people's work lives but helping them become the best that they can be in their jobs. I would say you will know when you have a great job when you feel humbled and blessed to do it.

Simeon’s Answer

I am an IT auditor who makes sure that company's processing for preventing bad IT things from happening are in place and functioning as planned. I like a lot of the skills I've gathered and the deeper understanding I've gained about how businesses function.

Terence’s Answer

I think finding a role that is rewarding and holds your interests is key in enjoying your work. This means different things to different people, but I would summarize it as:

1) "rewarding" - an environment where I can learn, develop and be recognized for my efforts
2) "holds your interests" - a job that where I enjoy the challenges and changes that I have to solve for
3) "environment" - a place where the people and leadership mostly have similar values that I have.

I have spent a lot of time determining what parts of the jobs I've had are most enjoyable - example: working within a team, figuring out how to make things work better, work across a global organization - and I've built my career on my own strengths and interests. This keeps me in jobs that I've enjoyed.

I also think a lot about the companies and places I work at, since that has a strong bearing on my work environment. My job involves building teams and helping to develop people, so that requires a company and leadership that have the same values. Without that support, it is difficult to build people/teams around ideals that you don't believe in. An example of this is when you see a manager/leader state "I care about our employees/team/people...", but their actions are contrary to that, like putting targets/metrics ahead of their peoples' wellbeing.

Laura’s Answer

Hi Oscar! What I like most about being an analyst in corporate banking is the dynamic nature of the job. I enjoy learning about companies in different industries and how they operate. Additionally, it’s always interesting to keep up with new developments in different industries, analyze how market movements can impact them and explore ways in which the bank can be of help to add value.
