New Jersey Resident Shares Testimonial

Sonia shares her story of how she was successful in finding employment through Rutgers University and Careerminds.

"I was laid-off shortly after a major corporation acquired the company I worked for. Unfortunately, I was one of the victims of a work force reduction. With the economy stepping into depression and loosing a job I worked my way up to, it was a difficult and scary time for me. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do and how to go about it. At first, I was in denial and did nothing, then angry and upset, and finally I accepted the situation and set out to do something about it. This was a new opportunity for me to start over and do something I want to do. I signed up for several classes at Rutgers University and earn two certificates and participated in two outplacement programs: Career Fast Track at Rutgers University and Careerminds MyBrand. These programs helped me find my path to finding employment. I learned how to job search, put together a powerful resume, market and promote myself, network, interview, negotiate salary, etc. It was easy and convenient, since the programs consist of online training and interactive web-training seminars, job search exercises and weekly meetings with my advisor. With my new skills and knowledge put into practice, I was able to secure a position as an Export Compliance Analyst with Lockheed Martin in less than two months. I believe that what I’ve learned through Career Fast Track and Careerminds have proven to be invaluable to my future and me."
