Always be yourself unless you can be a Boomerang

Escient welcomes back Tinka Cowlam.

It was a great day when Tinka came back to Escient.

When I originally found Escient it was at 1am in the morning. I had decided I needed to move on from contract work and knew I wanted a work family. Escient’s ad for a consultant immediately jumped out at me due to its language and warmth. By 3.30am I had rewritten my CV and submitted it with my carefully sculpted cover letter.

What I particularly loved about my time with Escient was that I was allowed to be uniquely myself and no one ever stopped me on my pathway. I also loved the values of the organisation as they align well with mine. The fact that mutual respect and friendliness was at the centre of every interaction was paramount.

“Escient is the first company I have ever Boomeranged back to. I get everything I want here. It fits me, it’s right for me.”

When I decided to leave Escient it was with all bridges intact and an understanding that I needed to try something else for personal reasons. This made my return super easy. When I began conversations with Escient again I already had 5 interviews and 2 offers on the table. But I knew I really wanted to return to the work family I loved.

“While Tinka is happy to be back, we are also thrilled she has returned to our tribe. Here at Escient we’ve created a collegiate work environment that inspires courage, creativity, and selflessness, all the while being empathetic to our team’s needs. With Tinka’s amazing energy, wit, and insightfulness – along with her client care – we welcomed her back with open arms.” – Stephen Kovacs, Managing Director – Escient (QLD)
