Leaving Nu Skin

Today is my last day at Nu Skin Enterprises where I have worked for the past (almost) 4 years. It's been quite a ride, but it's time to get off.

I first came to Nu Skin, a very green, squeaky clean Returned Missionary, full of dreams and excitement. I loved to speak Korean so jumped at the chance for a job where I could take customer service phone calls in my mission language, and therefore slow its alarmingly quick deterioration within my rather limited brain. It seemed like an answer straight from heaven to all my needs. It was in Provo, a very short drive from each of my several apartments while I went to BYU, and it offered opportunities for advancement.

I have to say that my experience at Nu Skin has been absolutely better than I expected. The people at this company have been incredibly good to me. I have absolutely no cause for complaint. Well... maybe one. They've spoiled me for other work opportunities. I honestly don't know if I will ever work anywhere that is so very good to their employees. Whether it was when I was a lowly peon on the phones, or when I had advanced to other positions - first as a trainer for new employees, and then to the position I currently hold as Regional Quality Specialist, (kind of an impressive title, no?) Nu Skin has treated me exceptionally well, and I will always laud them for that.

Why then am I leaving such a great company you may ask? Well the answer is really quite simple. Nu Skin is located in Provo. I believe I have mentioned in previous posts that I have come to realize that I am not, nor will I ever be, the type of person that could forever live in a town like Provo. It was great while it lasted, but I don't think I could handle it for much longer. And so I embark on a new adventure in Salt Lake City. (for anyone outside of Utah reading this, that might not seem like a big change, but trust me. HUGE.)

I look forward to that day very soon (tomorrow to be precise) that I will not have to drive the 80 miles round-trip that has plagued me since my move to Salt Lake in January. And so with a light heart, I bid a fond farewell to Nu Skin and all it has given me over the past 4 years. Thanks ever so much, and on to the next!
