Suiting Up with Enrique

Last week I had a little chat with Enrique Juarez (who also happens to be my boyfriend) about his success after graduating from college with a degree in economics. He is currently a Personal Banker at U.S. Bank and is ranked in the top 5% for sales volume in his entire region of California and Nevada. Enrique did have some struggles job searching after graduating college, like most people, but he remained positive and he eventually found something in his field.

 Look at him all suited up.

I find that most people in college or new graduates are having trouble jumping off into their careers. For me, it's fear of not succeeding in what I'm venturing off in and not finding a stable position, but Enrique has given me some pieces of advice that are very helpful.

Some key take-aways from Enrique:

• Learn how to talk to people...because you're gonna have to.
• "If you want attention, do something. If you want respect, do something well."
• Apply yourself and persevere. If you really want something, work towards it and don't give up.
• Don't quit your day job, but still do the things that you love. (i.e. photography, writing, music)

Along with his success in his career, he has also found success through social media. With almost 30k followers on Instagram and over 15k followers on Tumblr, Enrique has found social media as a fun tool to show off his photography and writing talent.
