Testimonials
Megan Wight,
Penn State University
"You mentioned that students sometimes lack work experience. Students should focus on transferrable skills. Most students have some work experience – they may just think it is not relevant, but I believe there is always a takeaway from any job. Some examples might include increased responsibility, time management, communication with employer, communication with customers, and team cohesiveness."

"For the clubs that I'm involved in, I've also had to use Publisher a lot to create flyers; then needed to save them as images, and send out e-flyers to large list servers. We've also reused our flyer designs to save time and energy to promote other events."
