I was selling home berries. A dollar for a kilo. Back than our neighborhood knew nothing about non-organic food. All the products we had were organic. My family was holding three hundred square meters of land filled with various representatives of the vegetable world. We had apple, peach, and cherry trees. Blackberries were growing next to strawberries; tomatoes were showing off their bright color before potatoes, while walnut trees were the silent guardians of that kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every summer, my mom and I were picking up strawberries. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loose warm soil with the red dots <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">needed limitless attention of the sun, water, and loving care of my mom. Once my childhood friend Bruce started selling berries just across the road. His father built him a shiny food corner with the fanciest furniture. They were selling the best imported fruit in our town. Yet every weekend, people were lining up in our garden to buy fruit and berries in the old wooden boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UvoCorp started their business in 2006. Unlike Mr. King, the company owners did not wake up one morning with \u2018I have a dream\u2019 idea. After all, the commerce era dictates its own rules. No matter if you are running a small family business or building a large enterprise, you need to have that \u2018something\u2019. You need to have zest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UvoCorp<\/a> is not Apple. They are not selling innovative unique products. They do have competitors in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelance-writing-jobs-london.html\">academic writing niche<\/a>. So what is the hook? What is that element? The care for the people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have never been a fan of working for a rigid corporate structure; it gets too heavy, and I start losing interest. UvoCorp makes me feel flexible and open-minded. Twice a year the management sends the questionnaire with that sort of questions what you like about us, what you feel might be improved, rate the performance of every department, etc. Surprisingly for me, it was not a one-way dialogue. From time to time, you will see the popped up news \u2018we added that feature\u2019, \u2018we improved the bonus scheme, \u2018welcome the new rating system\u2019, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of a sudden, my flow of thoughts was interrupted by a \u2018pff\u2019 sound from a man sitting in front of me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Oh my, looks like I entered Disneyland.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018What is it now?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Remember that song,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life in plastic, it&#8217;s fantastic?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You remind me of that character now, Jenny. This company, they are not the only one. I know there are other companies that offer better deals for writers.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Oh yeah, what are they?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Well, you know\u2026other companies. You register on their website and start working right away. Mentors do not take away your money, and you barely communicate with the management. No\u2026how did you call it?.. writing guides, tests, samples, and all that stuff. You just work.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Do they have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uvocorp.com\/freelancewriting\/overcome-your-writing-insecurities-with-a-mentor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mentors<\/a>?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Nah. Why do you need them anyway? Just do your job.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018What if I start doing a sloppy work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018So\u2026why do you even care? Money is money, Jenny. When I was working for that company I was telling you about before, the pay was good. I mean really good. It was covering all my internship expenses\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Why did you leave that company than?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018I did not. They fired me\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018For\u2026?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poorly written papers\u2026I thought they never checked them. But one day they just fired me. They simply could have taught me, you know. How to add that introductory sentence\u2026\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Thesis statement?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Right. And how to put those little numbers at the end of the page\u2026\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Footnotes?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Whatever, footnotes. Anyway, that was a big loss for them. I am way too busy to spend time on learning. The world is spinning, Jenny. If we don\u2019t catch up with time, we lose\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There we were. Two childhood friends sipping coffee. Talking about everything and nothing at all. I am happy I found my path in life. Fingers crossed that one day Bruce will find what he has been looking for since the day I met him.
