Lauren, could you start by sharing a bit about your professional journey and what led you to co-found Personality Pool?
I would love to say I had some magical moment in my college business courses that gave me the idea for Personality Pool, but in a less glamorous turn of events, once I graduated from college I couldn’t get a job! I had decided I wanted to go into sales so I applied to so.many.jobs and would rarely (if ever) make it to the interview stage. It was frustrating because I knew I had the right personality for a sales role even with my resume lacking what these companies deemed “necessary relevant experience.” I kept thinking, “If I could just meet one of these hiring managers in person, I know I can get the job.” Long story short — I ended up meeting a hiring manager who took a chance on me because he could see I had the right personality for the job.

This changed the trajectory of my entire life! I have carried this story with me for years and always knew that one day I wanted to find a way to give everyone the chance to show who they are beyond their resume when applying for very personality-driven jobs like sales, retail, hospitality, ultimately any job where dealing with people is what you will spend most of your time doing
