Josh: Finding true worth

Share this article: 

For the past several years of my life, I have wanted a career where I could have it all. A job where I was respected, valued, could grow in my own experiences, have new ones, and a decent paying wage wouldn’t hurt either. From being in retail management to running quality assurance in a call center of more than 100 agents, even working in a nursing home, there isn’t much in the customer service industry that I haven’t done. The various positions have had their perks, of course, but something was always missing.

This completely changed, however, the day I stepped into Walcraft Cabinetry. I had an interview on December 14th, and was told that day that if I wanted the job, it was mine. Something about Sean just really spoke to me; I could feel this fire inside telling me this is it. But I didn’t know jack squat about cabinets. I was going to go from a $46,000 salary to $17 an hour, and with people who I didn’t know. All that being said, I just knew I was doing the right thing.

Here we are on October 26th, almost a year later, and I couldn’t think of a place I would rather work. Over my time here, I have made lasting friendships, been treated like a member of a family, and my relationship with God has been completely transformed and reignited. This is what is important to me, and this was everything I was looking for, and it was in the last place I would ever think to look. But praise God I clicked on an Indeed ad because had I not done so, I would still be in status quo, hating my job, not loving the Lord, and only interested in my paycheck.

As I reflect on my journey with Walcraft Cabinetry, I am filled with gratitude for the many ways in which this place has transformed my life. This transformation goes beyond just a career change; it has touched every aspect of my existence.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my time at Walcraft is the strong sense of community that I’ve found within these walls. The moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed with open arms. It’s not just a workplace; it’s a second home. The relationships I’ve built with my colleagues have evolved into lasting friendships. We celebrate each other’s successes, support one another through challenges, and genuinely care about each other’s well-being. This sense of camaraderie is a priceless gift that I cherish daily, and never had anything like this in my life before.

In addition to the camaraderie, the impact on my personal life has been profound. I mentioned my rekindled relationship with God earlier, and I cannot overstate its significance. Walcraft Cabinetry has been instrumental in helping me rediscover my faith. The environment here fosters spiritual growth and reflection. The support and encouragement from my colleagues and supervisors have helped me strengthen my bond with God in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

Beyond the spiritual dimension, my general outlook on life has improved drastically. I wake up every morning with a sense of purpose and excitement for the day ahead. It’s no longer a dread to go to work; it’s a pleasure. I’ve discovered a genuine passion for cabinetry, which was an unexpected turn in my career path. The craft and attention to detail that goes into each cabinet fascinates me, and I find it rewarding to be a part of the process from sending samples, to seeing a final design.

Every day, I come to work with a smile on my face and a spring in my step. The contrast to my previous job, where I felt like a small cog in a massive machine, couldn’t be starker. At Walcraft, I am not just a number; I am an essential part of a team that strives for excellence. This sense of purpose and belonging has brought me immeasurable joy.

Looking forward, I can’t envision myself anywhere else. The prospect of leaving this remarkable community and this job that has brought so much fulfillment is inconceivable. My future is intertwined with Walcraft Cabinetry, and I am excited to see how it unfolds.

In conclusion, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Walcraft Cabinetry. This company has not only provided me with a job; it has given me a family, a renewed faith, a sense of purpose, and shown me that it’s possible to find a career that aligns with your values and aspirations. This business has shown me that happiness at work is not just a dream but a reality that can be achieved.

Thank you for changing my life in ways I could have never imagined. Here’s to many more years of growth, camaraderie, and fulfillment at Walcraft Cabinetry. This is where I am supposed to be. Thank you, Walcraft Cabinetry, for completely changing my life in every possible way for the better.
