Devin Lemoine has been with Success Labs for almost 18 years, but says the days of cradle-to-grave employment are long gone. Through her uncle’s connection, she met Bill Phillips, the founder of the company. Success Labs, formerly called Career Assessment Services, had plenty of work on its hands with outplacement services. All of the big companies in the South contracted out their big layoffs. Yes as the business climate changed, Success Labs changed with the times. In the meantime, Lemoine, who has raised triplets, became president of the company about five years ago. You can check out the complete Q&A with Lemoine from the new issue of Business Report here. The following is a sample of what you’ll find:
