Sanpete County resident finds remote job in banking after a career running semi-trucks

Clayton Meyer

"I went through the USU Extension Remote Work training program almost 2.5-3 years ago. I did this course because I had been running semi-truck for the past 7-10 years. I had broken my fibula and was laid up. I thought about how nice it would be to work from home like some of the people. Never in a million years did I think that I could be the one doing it! I was not computer savvy whatsoever. I lost my job and decided "why not do this course?" I successfully completed the ROI course and landed a remote job in customer service. I did not think I could ever land a remote job, but I stayed at that company for nearly two years. I am now working remotely for an online bank where I make more money with better benefits than I have ever had. I am truly grateful for the ROI program. I actually interview this next week for a new position within the bank which will take me on a whole new career path. When I say I can do it, really anyone can do it."
