Leader of the Week - Justin Ip!

My collegiate educational history began at The Ohio State University as an arts student of the Visual Communications Design program. Eventually I realized that graphic design was not the area for me, so I sought out another major to focus on. Eventually, after taking a number of classes at Columbus State while searching for an area of study that I felt passionate about, I realized that the proper fit for me was the Conservatory of Music at Capital University. After admittance into Capital, I graduated from their Music Technology department in two years with a final GPA of 3.5.

The music business is a tough market to get into, even if one does have the proper contacts from throughout the years. With our economy in its current state, many of us have a hard time finding employment with very serious opportunity for growth and financial security. Walker Marketing & Consultants originally contacted me through Monster.com after I had put up my resume for all the world’s employers to see. I decided to look into the company and ended up interviewing and eventually started working for Walker. For me, it was a great choice and I am enjoying every minute of it.

This job allows me the freedom to manage myself on a day-to-day basis as well as provides me with the opportunity to grow as an entrepreneur and businessman. With the company’s business model built the way it is, Walker Marketing & Consultants provides all of us with the tools to immensely achieve successful careers. All of us have different motivations, and my current motivation happens to be to become self sufficient and most importantly, pay off my student loans in a very timely fashion.

Of course, what motivates me more than anything else is the chance to provide myself and my future family with all of the opportunities that were provided to me as I grew up. Nowadays, it is pretty rare to be able to have the freedom to do what we want. I am looking forward to having that freedom for myself.
