"If it is to be, it is up to me." "This motto, used by many members of the Vector family, was what I lived by all summer. I knew I was the only one that could make my dreams a reality and win the Scholarship. This summer was full of hard work, challenges, office duties, and a determination to come out on top. There was however the ever prevalent, work hard, play harder aspect of the Vector Opportunity which shone through in these instances. The Race for the Scholarship was one of nail biting, fretting, and holding my breath right until the end while I was standing on the stage with my fellow contestants. If it was not for the guidance and constant push from Chad Mah, Sally Ngo, Mario Vetro, and Sibylle Stipp, I probably would have given up and taken my one week holiday free from "burden". Thanks to these four people, and Mr. Jared Seitz, I was pushed to power through my holiday and came out on top. Without the support of Chad and the Vancouver office I would not have had the privilege of winning the scholarship cup, nor the ability to have the company donate $1000 to my programme at UVic (Theatre program). Thank you to everyone who helped me this summer, and it is with baited breath that I await next summer and follow the path to victory with new reps and managers."

"When I scheduled a time for my Vector interview last May, I went in hopes of securing a summer position as I was still a high school student. Fortunately, I was lit on fire by the Vector opportunity when my manager, Damian Olson, finally explained the "too exciting for you right now" Fast Start. No wonder he was wearing a fire helmet when he told us. Excited and eager, I left my textbooks at school for the next couple of weeks and was able to get off to a great start. Lonny Erasmus called me almost every morning of the summer to get me up and calling, and although we had a few squabbles over the phone I am thankful he did. There is no better feeling than being a Push Week champion. There were happy and hard times for me last summer, but I know I am a better person for having endured both."

"What a summer! Out of the 20 summers I have had in my lifetime, this was the best. Number three in the scholarship race is something to be proud of. I could name off so many people that helped, but this sums it up: Thanks to everyone in Vector! So many great people that I have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, working with. As a business student, the skills that I have learned this past summer will increase my success in the future. I am looking forward to enjoying much more success and ongoing training with Vector. Vector has taught me so much, not just about myself but about life skills in general. Thanks again to everyone at Vector. Look forward to my write up in the Fall Campaign Scholarship."

"Fantastic four eh...? Not too shabby. What an AWESOME summer it was! I hung out with my friends all the time, enjoyed every weekend, played football and soccer, went to movies, swam in my pool, went to the gym, and still made $20,000! That's right, $20,000! If I was you, sitting in an interview, or in training, I probably wouldn't believe me either if I read that. It doesn't really matter though, because I did! I definitely worked hard when I was working, and you can't achieve success without hard work, but Vector gives you the flexibility to work when you want, and as much as you want. I love this job and I have made over 5 figures the past three summers that I have worked here. I hope if you are working for this company you take full advantage of the opportunity that's being presented to you."

"My third summer with Vector and by far my most profitable and most enjoyable! I have learned so much in my first two years with Vector and grown so much as an individual. Never coming out of grade 12 would I have thought that I would be selling knives, but I've come to realize this is the most rewarding and best paying position that a student can have. This summer I decided to take full advantage of the Field Sales Manager opportunity and sell full time. This position allowed me to work part time hours and earn a very lucrative income. Best of all I was able to grow my business, meet lots of interesting people, have complete autonomy in my schedule and make lots of new friends in the company. Lastly, I would like to thank Trent, Barrie, Andy and Mark for helping me and keeping me motivated throughout the summer."

"My first summer working with Vector was completely different from anything I have ever done before. I took the job for different reasons; mainly I wanted to gain communication skills for my future endeavors in school and in my career. I ended up gaining so much more from my experience than I thought I would. While working with Vector, I gained confidence, new friends, I grew as a person and made quite a bit of money along the way! I love the Ottawa office and all the people in it. Valerie is an awesome manager and is always so enthusiastic. I have two great Assistant Managers too - Amy and Veronik. I think that Vector is a great opportunity for anybody, especially students. I am so happy that I had the chance to work with such a wonderful company!"
