Scope Of Work Co. (SOW) reposted this
When Marinique Mora came to Scope Of Work Co. (SOW) in 2018, she was months out of college and months into an unsuccessful job search. SOW's Talent Agency connected her to an interview within a week. That interview launched an eight-year career at Combo, a strategy and design studio in New York City. Years later, Edwin Castillo arrived at Combo as a SOW Fellow. Marinique was his mentor. SOW then placed Edwin at Aimé Leon Dore, where an internship converted to a full-time role. When it came time to hire an intern, Edwin brought in Jonathan L. through SOW. And when Edwin eventually left Aimé Leon Dore to move on to his next chapter, he made sure to recommend another SOW Alum, Brandon Cortes, who is now in that seat. Marinique. Edwin. Jonathan. Brandon. This is the culture SOW has built over the last eight years. Not just the network and opportunities to get in the door, but the instinct and intention to hold it open once you're through. And this is just one example; there are dozens more like it. Has someone held the door open for you? Or have you held it open for someone else? Share your story in the comments.
