Chad Bowden, now a top personnel director at USC, credits his earlier job as a telemarketer for shaping his resilience and persuasive skills. This experience, despite being challenging, prepared him for the intense competitive environment of college football. His swift promotion to USC, accompanied by a lucrative contract, was driven by a shared vision with coach Lincoln Riley and athletic director Jennifer Cohen, who aligned with Bowden's aspirations for the program's future.
Every day, hundreds of times per day, people on the other line would find colorful ways to share how unhappy they were to hear from him.
It was a thankless job. For a while, it wore him down emotionally. But 'it was the greatest experience,' he says.
I knew I was coming to USC when, in an hour's time span, I spoke to Jen and Lincoln and had voiced my aspirations.
That's a huge reason as to why I chose to leave a great situation. Because I felt like this was better.
