Her Interview
Ten minutes with Caylah
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would attribute my success to not giving up or being discouraged, because my first two sales jobs were pretty rough, but I stuck it out, and now I'm really proud of where I am and what is to come. Corporate Catering is a brand new program within DoorDash for Business, and we've just gotten approval to expand to additional submarkets.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice that I've ever received is to get out of your comfort zone, and not be afraid to try new things.
