Gursimran G., BBA Graduate in Finance
When I joined the Career Accelerator Program I lacked confidence and direction in my professional journey. I was on a journey of finding my confidence and determined to pursue a career as a communications assistant specializing in social media. I was overwhelmed by fear of the unknown. I wondered if I was ever going to get a job I enjoy. The program helped me achieve my goals. By the end of the program, I had a better resume and cover letter. I got the job opportunity of my dreams. I also gained my confidence. Thank you for the coach you provided me with and helped me boost my confidence tremendously.
