“I am glad I found an organization that is very supportive, understanding of my skills and abilities, and concerned about my goals. Hired helped strengthen areas that I was weak in and helped me stay focused. I was not judged, feedback that I was given was understandable, and I am now able to be with a company that I will be able to apply my skills, knowledge, and abilities at a entry level position.”
