Success Story

I took the temp job at Ōnin just to get by, telling myself it was only temporary. On my first day, I noticed how fast everything moved, and how easy it would be to blend in and do the bare minimum, but I didn’t! I showed up early and stayed focused, and made sure my work spoke for me. Weeks passed, and I started to feel different. People stopped calling me temp and started calling me by name. They trusted me with more responsibility, and I made sure I never gave them a reason to doubt that trust. Then one afternoon I checked my email, to see an email from Mercedez Benz. For a second, I worried that it was some regular old email. Instead, they offered me a full-time position. What started as just a temp job turned into something bigger because I treated it like it already mattered and I want to thank Ōnin for that opportunity.
