Small Business. Big Rewards.

Thinking about going back to work or making a career change?

This post is from my friend Heather Steele. We used to be work colleagues.

————-

I started a small business when my first son was an infant. I had originally decided to stay at home, be involved in the schools and volunteer in my community and while I loved doing all that I realized I needed something more—something flexible where I could be in the professional world and earn a bit of money.

And so I joined W by Worth, as an agency leader. W by Worth is a brand of clothing designed for everything you do—from running around town, work and play to cocktails and events. Agency leaders invite customers to shop the latest collection and work with them to find to pick out clothes and build a wardrobe over time.

And right now, we’re hiring. So if you have little or big ones, and are thinking about going back to work or if you’re looking for a career change W by Worth might be the perfect fit for you.

Heather Steele lives in Wellesley MA with her husband and sons, ages 9 and 11. Not only is she a room parent and community volunteer, she runs a top 20 agency for W by Worth and is a Director of Business Development. Most of the time she manages to do it without losing her mind.
