Working at Overstock
Today was my first day of work in the marketing division of online retail giant Overstock. For the curious, my official title is “Product Manager / Business Analyst”, not that it necessarily helps you (or me) understand what I do. :)
Although I have a hard time showing it, I’m really pretty excited –much more that I thought I would be. The daily commute from Orem stinks, but starting Monday I’ll be carpooling, so I should be able to turn at least some of that sucky traffic time into quality reading time; and if today was any indication, it looks like I’ll be learning a lot on the job as well.
I’m excited because it’s looking like I’ll be able to use a wide variety of my skill sets. From business analysis, to tech, to internet marketing –I saw it all today. Very nice. Fun too…

Jordy, CONGRATS! I know Jake and Judd who work there. Both cool. Say hello to them for me. I’m really exited for you.

Hey Jordy, congrats. I had lunch with Judd a couple of weeks ago in the Overstock cafeteria and was really impressed with the campus, culture, attitude, culture, etc. Judging on the recent hire of Judd and you it sounds like Overstock really respects talent!

Jordy!!! Congrats! I thought quite a lot about what you are doing now. So I guess Overstock got lucky huh? BTW, I finally decided to start my own personal blog and the first thing I did was to connect with you! You were the one who taught me about WordPress and all, you know. :)
