The job market is more competitive than ever

What is it, exactly, that employers are looking for?

Soft skills have always been valuable, but today they matter more than ever.

“As technical complexity rises, the glue that keeps talent productive is social skill—communication, empathy, conflict resolution, and the ability to coordinate diverse expertise [...] critical thinking, complex problem solving, and reasoning, are also crucial components in the modern enterprise.”

Experience is the best teacher

Some things can’t be learned in a classroom

“I was interviewed by someone who had exited two businesses back-to-back for over $10 million each and was a full-time venture capital CEO coach. I received a full-time offer with stock options because the business coach was so impressed with my Cutco experience.”

Jacob Shelton

Texas A&M University, Business

“Whether I’m facing a tough assignment or a real-life situation, I’ve learned to break problems down, consider different perspectives, and find effective solutions. I’m now more confident handling unexpected obstacles and more resourceful, too.”

Espen Bagheri

Grand Canyon University, Marketing and Advertising

“Selling Cutco was easily the best and most impactful decision I’ve ever made. I learned how to move through the world more humbly and talk to people from all walks of life. Because of the skills I learned, like time management and saving money, I will graduate debt-free.”

Jett Williams

Longwood University, Psychology

"As a communications major, I assumed that there wasn’t going to be much outside of my classes that would be valuable. But, after working with Vector for 3 years, I have learned so much more by communicating in the real world than in my classes."

Sarah Krick

Arizona State University, Business Communications

“Vector has taught me to lead by example, to listen first, and to influence through service rather than authority. It’s helped me become a better spouse, friend, and role model. This has set the foundation for a future where I feel confident leading in any setting—whether it’s in business, community work, or eventually running my organization.”

Hansen Lungren

Idaho State University, Business Management

“Vector has taught me to lead with purpose: recruiting, mentoring, and motivating others while fostering a positive and high-performing team culture. I’ve learned to listen actively, lead by example, and take ownership for both successes and setbacks. It has shaped me into a more confident, self-aware person.”

Natalie Jackson

Brightpoint Community College, Nursing

“I have always sought immediate gratification, but now I see the joy in the work itself. The hard work I put in to reach my goals is the best part. I have been able to take accountability in my relationships, unlike before. The skills I’ve learned at Vector have immensely helped my relationships with my family and friends.”

Tanner House

East Texas Baptist University, Marketing

“Working with Vector has taught me to be unafraid of failure. It is the truest form of learning and a key part of the pathway to success. I have become more confident in taking risks and facing obstacles. It is failure that has led me to some of my greatest achievements at Vector.”
