Name: Sara Niemi
Title: Talent Acquisition Coordinator, JBCStyle
Location: Seattle, WA
I became a recruiter because … I was really interested in the business and fashion/apparel worlds. I knew after I had my first phone conversation with Amanda that she was someone I wanted to work with, and as my interviews went on I knew this company was one I wanted to be a part of.
Favorite designer: Oh jeez, give me some time to discover all this! Amanda will agree … I am fashion challenged.
Celebrity crush: Sam Worthington
Favorite place in Seattle: Marymoor Dog Park
Interview horror story: That would have to be my interview with Bryan. We were both sicker than dogs, couldn’t talk without a nasal wheeze, and both had absolutely no energy. It was the most subdued, unenergetic conversation ever. And all we could do is apologize to each other!
Favorite accessory: My angel wing earrings
If I could be an animal I would be … A liger
Dream vacation: London, no contest
Sweet or salty: Dark chocolate
In my spare time I … Play rugby, although my new sport will probably be Roller Derby!
Fashion or Beauty Tip: False eyelashes means never having to put on mascara
Favorite item in my closet: My Ghostbusters costume
Restaurant I would recommend: Kwanjai Thai in Fremont, WA
Favorite music artist/band: Mumford and Sons
Favorite quote: “In our country, true teams rarely exist … social barriers and personal ambitions have reduced athletes to dissolute cliques or individuals thrown together for mutual profit … Yet these rugby players. with their muddied, cracked bodies, are struggling to hold onto a sense of humanity that we in America have lost and are unlikely to regain. The game may only be to move a ball forward on a dirt field, but the task can be accomplished with an unshackled joy and its memories will be a permanent delight. The women and men who play on that rugby field are more alive than too many of us will ever be. The foolish emptiness we think we perceive in their existence is only our own.” – Victor Cahn
