Thirty years ago, Joan Pelletier was looking for a job. “There were 30 people in line [for an interview],†she recalled. “I left that and looked at the want ads in my car. I interviewed [at Sonitrol Security Systems of Hartford Inc.], and I didn’t think I got the position.â€
One week later, Pelletier got a call from the company. “I thought I would stay a year, but since then I haven’t had an interest in anything else,†she admitted.
