Being the first voice people hear from Jenner Ag carries some weight – and Emily Amos, Corporate Support Specialist and Recruiter, is up to the challenge. Whether it’s a career fair, a job interview or an internal event, Emily is front and center and ready to help. She strives to be two steps ahead – making everyone’s lives here a little easier. She wears many hats and lends even more helping hands.
“Every day is different, and I get to be part of a little bit of everything! Each new task opens up a new learning experience,” says Emily. “I work on recruiting, preparing for internal classes we offer, assisting members of our management team in whatever support role they may have a need for and helping to plan our yearly parties/company outings.”
Her favorite part of the job, she says, is that the learning is endless. In her time at Jenner Ag, she has learned so much about finances, running a business, stocks, how to be a leader, The Great Game of Business, recruiting, agriculture, taxes and investing. “I essentially get a free education on many vital topics. I am constantly learning something new that I can use at work and in my everyday life,” says Emily.
With recruiting being a core aspect of her role, she takes pride in being one of the first impressions someone has of Jenner Ag. “I want our culture to shine through before anything else. I know it’s part of what makes people happy here,” says Emily. “During interviews, I look at personality type, the want to learn and grow, would they fit in with our culture, and are they easy to talk to – just as much as their skill set. We pride ourselves on having an environment of associates who are kind, happy, knowledgeable and fun to be around.”
Emily likes to live by the phrase, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.” She says, “The people here love what we do and the agricultural industry and what that means to be a part of something that serves the world on a large scale, and it shows.”
