CWP Career Impact
In one sentence, what has CWP meant to you?
It provided me with the fundamental foundation of what it takes to run a business day in and day out.

It provided me with many more interviews than my peers. When potential employers saw I ran my own business from the ground up they wanted to meet me.
What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CWP experience?
How much dedication it takes to run your own business. How to do a cold call sale. I was way ahead of anyone else with this in my current company due to my experiences going door to door.
