So Kevin got a new job. YEA!!!! Kevin wasn't loving investools anymore. Things are just changing there and he wasn't doing well and so he has been looking for a new job. He applied at Omniture, a company in Orem. He has heard a lot of good things about this company and a couple people in our neighborhood work there and also some friends from investools work there. He finally got an interview and they wanted him to interview for 4 hours. He said it was the hardest interview of his life. Then about a long week and a half later they called him and offered him the job. He was so excited. So he quit investools on the 23rd and took some time off and then started on the 28th.
So far he really likes it. It is kind of different because he is basically training himself, so he says that it is a little nerve racking because he is trying to figure everything out, but he already loves the company. So he is doing sales again, but for a totally different thing. I don't totally understand it yet, but it has to do with Internet marketing for major companies.
Before he started they sent him this huge gift basket with things that represent Utah, things like chips and salsa, salt water taffy, chocolate, pen, book at Utah, etc. It was a nice surprise.
Then last Saturday night they had their annual summer company party. It was crazy. It was the Electric park at Thanksgiving Point. When we got their we each got a free t-shirt. Then they fed us a nice dinner. Hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, cookies, lemonade, corn on the cob, etc. It was good. Then they had the place set up like the Utah County fair. They had FREE snow cones, FREE, popcorn, churros, face painting, balloons, cotton candy, carnival rides, Ferris wheel, blow up slides, train ride, games with prizes, drinks, etc. Oh did I mention it was all free. Then they had a big stage set up for a band. Over there they handed out those sweatshirt blankets to everyone to sit on. Then they played rock, paper, scissors, with over two thousand people. The grand prize winner got a $5000 gift card to go anywhere in the world and a 6 year old girl won, crazy huh? Then a band played for a while and we got free ice cream. Then they had a firework show that was just as good as you would see anywhere else. The grand finale was amazing it totally lit up the sky. It was a pretty fun party.
We have hear such great things about this company and we are excited. I know that Kevin will do well with it. Good luck Kev, we love you.
