How KAS Placement Was Started As A Company

The Story of KAS Placement

 

I don’t think that most businesses are planned. At least, KAS Placement wasn’t planned. There were certain seeds that were planted almost unbeknownst to me at the time, but hindsight shows that they were truly crucial to my career, the careers of the employees at KAS, and those of our job seekers and our clients.

 

During college I took an unpaid internship at a brokerage house where I was assigned a cold-call list (from where, I do not know) of VPs at companies in Florida. My job was purely to see if one of the Series 7 brokers at our firm might send them out some equity research and follow up with them a month later.

 

Within a week and a half, I got to the point of stirring up enough interest from these people to pass them directly to a broker rather than having to wait that month‚ sort of like that mid-’90′s movie Boiler Room, just not as cool.

 

Selling was a natural point for me. Within a month, that unpaid internship turned paid, about $13 an hour which was pretty good for my being the only paid intern in the office.  How I Started a Business At a Young Age Continued
