Patient, Professional, and the Perfect Instructor!

Duane helped me prepare for an interview. He gave me some tips and tricks as to how to answer certain questions. He went over several potential questions with me and refined my responses. I went into the session insecure and left with more confidence which I plan to bring to the interview. I will definitely be working with him again for my own professional development. He was great, don't hesitate on this instructor ---CLICK THE CONTACT BUTTON.
