"Gandhi once said ‘If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.’ When I started at Vector over a year ago, I didn’t have previous sales experience, but I believed in myself and the Vector program, and since then I’ve developed skills and capabilities to succeed in anything I want, and I believe anyone else can too."

"First and foremost, I love my job! Vector has given me the opportunity to meet a lot of new and interesting people while gaining valuable business experience in the process. That alone makes my job worth the effort; but when you get your first bonus check, it becomes perfect! Where else would a college student be able to set their work schedule around their personal/ school lives, while making the amount of money that FSMs make. Throughout my experience with Vector I have found it is the one job I’ve had where I get exactly what I put into it, if not a lot more!"

"Vector challenged me to conquer myself, and to make it a lifelong habit. I think we often doubt ourselves, not realizing the power we have within us, what we are capable of achieving if only we believe. Vector taught me that everything I needed to succeed was with me all along, I just had to pull it out from inside. It will always be there as long as I make the decision everyday to create it and to keep it. Vector helped me to discover my personal power and to empower others. I will always be thankful for that gift."

Vector has introduced me to a world full of unlimited possibilities, and I look forward to building a dynasty with the company in the future. "

It has taught me many life-time skills such as leadership, communication, time management, teamwork and most importantly commitment to yourself. Vector has also taught me how to overcome obstacles and push myself to the limits, knowing everything is possible with hard work. I’m thankful to Vector for giving me a chance to work with some of the best people I have ever met in my life, people that will stay my friends forever. Thank you!"

"If I can go to school, make good income, get great experience, and keep my priorities in line, then I am one happy knife-selling machine. Vector has given me the power to take control of my life and allowed me to make the best out of everything and get what I want. Think Big!"

"The past summer has taught me a lot about possibilities. I never hoped, planned, or expected to achieve much of anything through Vector because everyone told me it was impossible. However, I soon learned that Vector was not a place for people didn’t set high goals for themselves. I found myself challenging my capabilities everyday, never settling for ‘good enough.’ For one of the first times in my life I started to realize my true potential. I always knew it was there, I just needed the help of Vector to bring it forth. Vector has given me a true taste of success, something I now seek in every part of my life."

"The experience with Vector has changed my life. Who would have thought by selling knives? Being a leader is a wonderful feeling. Helping others succeed is only the beginning. Learn from your role models, apply without fear. Hit your goals and you’ll have an awesome year. Being committed and consistent is a major part. Wanting to succeed is where it all starts. I’m independent and confident with everything I do. Follow your dreams and you can do it too."

"One of the meanings for PDI in my office is ‘Passion Driven Intensity,’ and that Is what my summer was all about. Any negativity or cynicism that previously shaped my thinking was replaced with optimism and an unrelenting drive to achieve goals – the kind we are afraid to say out loud. I learned to open my mind, risk being the fool, and never take myself so seriously that I stop having a good time."
