Taylor One Marketing Discusses Career Fulfillment Benefits
As an interactive marketing provider for the San Diego region, Taylor One Marketing benefits from having a strong pool of highly qualified candidates to fill any position. Managers cite career-minded individuals are their first pick.
Escondido, August 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “When we’re interviewing applicants for sales and marketing roles, we’re not just looking for someone who can perform the job,” cites Khalid T., Taylor One Marketing’s president. “We actively seek individuals who are ready to invest themselves in long-term careers. We know they’ll be more committed to learning and growing with our business.”
Khalid acknowledged that Taylor One Marketing’s opportunities to advance from within are rare in today’s job market. “Many candidates have divulged that during their job searches, other interviewers are perplexed by the idea of discussing advancement tracks during the interview,” he observed. “These are the managers who are looking to plug people into positions, and then it’s up to those workers to find career growth on their own. It’s like their associates are commodities. That’s not how we think here.”
"We believe rewarding associates who work hard with advancement opportunities is a boon for both them and for us,"

“We believe rewarding associates who work hard with advancement opportunities is a boon for both them and for us,” Khalid continued. “We’re investing in training so they are able to master our methods. This training is continual. If we didn’t offer them opportunities to grow, they’d implement those skills elsewhere, when we can use their experience right here!”
Taylor One Marketing’s President Shares Why Career Fulfillment Is Vital
Khalid stated that when he’s interviewing candidates for Taylor One Marketing, he determines what their long-range plans are for their careers. “You have to have goals and a plan when it comes to your career,” he said. “One day, you’re going to wake up and you’re in your 50s and wondering, ‘What did I do with my life?’ Having a personal mission is important.”
Khalid stressed career-minded individuals must identify their passions. “You have to know what you’re passionate about,” he said. “What fields interest you? How do you want to make a difference in the world? What type of job can you wake up every day and be excited to do? That’s career fulfillment. It’s not about collecting a paycheck and all the things you can buy.”
By Khalid’s definition, career fulfillment suggests not only being passionate, but enjoying working for a given company and with other associates. “A great leader is going to place a lot of effort on maintaining a positive culture in which everyone works as team,” he said. “Such an office is energetic, one in which you can hear laughter instead of feeling tension when you walk through the doors. Environment matters as much as what you are doing.”
“Happiness is always tied to your personal preferences and your determination to succeed,” Khalid concluded. “Why not make sure your career path is part of the plan?”
