I attended the School District of Philadelphia's open Career Fair on May 20, 2025 through Indeed,…read morebecause Mayor Cherelle Parker spoke of The District's need to hire teachers at my commencement ceremony at Rosemont College last month. I showed up on time and dressed professionally and with my resume. Half of the schools were not present during the start of the event and/or reps showed up late. I walked around to speak to most of the reps that were present. I noticed that more time was spent with Caucasian applicants and I felt that the mostly Black reps/principals were not as interested in speaking with me, despite my having a Master's degree and being a Black woman representative of what the mostly minority student population would benefit from seeing in the classroom. I gave my resume to about three reps but did not hear back from any of them, probably because most were seeking Math/Special Education teachers with certificates and I am not certified and have an English/Reading background, which I was honest about in person. I also wrote this down when I applied on Indeed, and it would have been nice for The School District in its response to my Indeed application and invitation to the event to be transparent about the specific subjects they were hiring for, so that I would not have wasted my time and money traveling from NJ to Philly. When I received an email from Amber Minor-Tisdale, SR. Project Manager for Talent Recruitment & Selection in the Office of Talent, asking for my feedback on the event, I filled out the survey and responded to her email directly about my experience. She responded initially with apologies and asked what other job I applied for (I also applied for the position of Special Projects Assistant I (50026178) directly on The District's website before the event, since I have years of data entry/office experience). I responded to her email about the other position on May 29, 2025 and when I did not hear another response, followed up with a request for an update on June 6, 2025, to which I have not received another response from Ms. Minor-Tisdale nor anyone from The School District of Philadelphia. The least they could do is to follow up with candidates who take the time to show up to their calls for applicants, especially because the need for good teachers is great. The District cannot afford to be indifferent or disrespectful to the very people they depend on to educate our future. I certainly would not advise any candidate to waste his/her time and resources going to any event hosted by The School District of Philadelphia unless he/she personally knows someone within the system and can get through by way of nepotism. -E.J.

Also stay for: + the renowned scholars that are your professors. they will treat you like colleagues. + the excellent student-to-faculty ratio (8:1) + the gorgeous American Gothic architecture + the secret gardens and towering rows of trees + each and every tradition. Bryn Mawr is an inimitable place. Any top-tier college may have comparable academics, but nowhere where you find such a thriving community of passionate, inspired, intelligent individuals. Not only did I have the incredible opportunity to be taught by Macarthur "Genius Grant" winners in every class (not TAs!), they'd talk to me like an equal afterward. I have to admit that I found the students to be even more inspiring. Someone was always doing groundbreaking and fascinating research, but there was always enough time to explain it in a relaxed way over chocolate chip pancakes. And if that weren't enough, the traditions really did bring the entire campus together, in ways a Yelp review can't do justice to. All the upperclasswomen were astoundingly knowledgeable and supportive, and the friends I made at Bryn Mawr are friends for life. Without question, going to Bryn Mawr was the best possible decision I could have made for myself as a young woman.

With several courses and programs to choose from, Wharton is the place to come when you need to understand complex topics quickly. I came to the Wharton School to study the issues and processes involved with Mergers and Acquisitions. In one week I learned about integration, valuation, negotiation, and the legal issues involved in M&A transactions. With several published authors and truly brilliant professors collaborating with Wharton faculty, instruction was fast paced and comprehensive. I was sincerely impressed not only with level of detail in the information provided, but also with the experience and quality of the faculty and adjunct faculty. The secondary benefit of attending and executive education program at Wharton is the diversity and expertise of fellow classmates. Your classmates will be leaders in their field, adding to the value of the core curriculum by sharing information and insights about the application of your studies in the real world. With many collaborative team activities, one has the opportunity to apply new skills in workshops and competitive team activities. I simply can't say enough about this program and I look forward to returning to learning new skills and improving my depth of knowledge in business management issues. This was an excellent experience for me, and I'm excited to apply my new found skills in the real world. One word of warning, this is a fast paced program with 12 hour days, so be prepared for an intense experience. Make sure you complete your pre-reading assignments before you arrive, as you will have little time to do so once you arrive. Attending an executive education course here will give you the edge you need to reach peak professional performance and take those skills back to the real world. I highly recommend it. 5 Stars.
