Meet Our Swooner | Alexandra, Senior Account Coordinator Where do you call home? Atlanta, Georgia How long have you been with Swoon? 2 years! What does your day-to-day look like? "As a Senior Account Coordinator, I act as the stepping stone that bridges the gap between the candidate - Swoon - and the client. Coordinating everything from client needs and incoming jobs to interviews and offers, I have the exciting role of making sure everyone is prioritized and on the same page, both internally and externally." Why do you Swoon? “I “Swoon” because on the best days AND the worst, every one of my fellow Swooners leads the way by demonstrating impeccable friendship, sportsmanship, leadership, and character through and through. Swoon is a company built around all the values that the world needs more of, and each employee is made to feel like part of the “family” from the very first day. It is amazingly fulfilling to be part of a company that somehow manages to always prioritize its clients, candidates, and employees all at once - without missing a beat! Since becoming a Swooner, I can honestly say that I would never want to be anything else!” What do you like to do outside of work? “Outside of work, I mostly enjoy playing the role of “mom” and “best friend” to my almost four-year-old daughter. Most of my free time is spent being reminded by a toddler that it’s truly the small things in life that mean the most.”
