QUOTES

Rob: "Sometimes you have to ask permission, sometimes you have to earn the right, but when you get the right to solve somebody's problem or to help them solve a problem they have, you see the results and you see the personal and professional impact you're gonna have on people." 

Jill: "I am a natural problem solver. I don't like the status quo at all. If somebody who is a manager, somebody came to me saying, no, we're perfect nothing needs to be fixed, that's wrong. Something always needs to be improved." 

Jill: "You also have to be mindful of, is this going to help me in my next move. If it's not, then even if you stay there just make every week, do the interviews, do the resumes, train yourself in something different. And eventually you'll be able to find that job that really is aligned with your goals, long term and short term."
