I had a few sessions with Alex for MFA application tutoring and he went above and beyond. We edited…read moremy portfolio and essays until they were just right. In addition to being really flexible with scheduling, (which was super convenient) he really helped me get exactly what I wanted out of the essays & portfolio. His fixes were spot on and really strengthened my work. They weren't just cosmetic either, we did a lot of restructuring to support the root themes of the stories and make them better. I truly cannot imagine a better experience or a more encouraging teacher. A lot of other writing teachers I've had in the past get an idea in their head of how to fix a piece and try to steamroll you into executing it, but Alex was exactly the opposite! My vision was heard and supported at every step. Alex really took the time to understand me and my pieces, and they were better for it. I credit the confidence with which I submitted my applications to Alex and look forward to working with him in the future once I finish my manuscript draft!

Each class consists of writing prompts and review of submitted work. The instructor, Alex, is very knowledgable and well versed in writing techniques and tools. He is always offering suggestions that are very helpful. I will definitely take another course in the very near future.

I like the various formats the content is presented in (audio, multi-media, or online reading). This material is serving to coach my thought processes as I prepare to re-enter the job market. There are gifted people who have a knack for presenting themselves in the best light possible no matter what the situation maybe and perhaps those people might not need this course. None of this comes naturally to me, so, I will have to learn how to best relate to prospective employers. And this course is full of information that I have found helpful as I progress toward my goals

This is the real deal and is extremely helpful when job searching. I have always given a decent to…read moregood interview and knew the general basics of how to prepare. However, there was always something missing and the job offers were not rolling in the way I wanted. I joined Interview Advisors and saw immediate results. I sent in my resume and cover letter that was re worked using Interview Advisors suggestions and advice and I had 4 interviews lined up within the hour. Once in the interview I was well prepared which gave me a confidence I'd never had before. I was able to anticipate the questions and give well thought out answers. More than one interviewer commented that they appreciated how I not only answered all their questions but did so very thoroughly. I found myself for the first time having to choose between job offers. I also for the first time negotiated a salary/benefit package. I am starting a new job with a $15k raise from my last job with a raise after 90 days employment, vacation time, and other fringe benefits. I have never had any experience like this before and know I owe it to Interview Advisors. If you are in the market for new employment this program is money well spent for your future.

When she was in her infant room, Ms. Christine was kind and patient. She engaged her both emotionally and physically. Im sure that my daughter reached all her milestones early because her teachers worked so hard with her.

I feel so safe and comfortable knowing that these 2 women are taking care of my daughter. In addition to all the love and care she get, I am so beyond impressed with the menu my daughter I served everyday.
