After leaving ICT, I got a job designing dental work using a new software program that not many people have the background/skills to do. My employer felt that my CIS background provided the foundation to assume this position and I am happy to say that what I went through in the Career Development class prepared me to sell myself in a big way. You should have seen me in the interview! I was dazzling, amazing and charming, to say the least. Then after all that was said and done, the thank you letter I wrote to the person interviewing me was so spectacular that within an hour after sending the letter, I received a job offer. I feel that part of the reason that I received the job offer was because of the skills that I acquired from ICT.
Recently, I interviewed with a local computer networking firm. I found two things to be very interesting during the interview. First, I did not apply for this position. The company actually found out about me through word of mouth. Second, I was told by the interviewer that “The reason we reached out to you is because your resume was so well put together and we were impressed”. Without a doubt, the mock interviews that we conducted in class provided me with tons of confidence during the interview process.
I selected ICT after I decided it was time to change my life. I enjoyed my experience with the instructors, faculty, and staff. Everyone at ICT was encouraging and supportive. Even when I didn’t think I could reach my goals. My biggest motivator and supporter was Mr. Lee Walker. He pushed me to do more and better because he saw potential that even I didn’t know I had. After graduating I was offered a position as a technical support representative.
