Additionally, I am a graduate of Dale Carnegie Institute in Public Speaking and Effective Human Relations.

Some services include: completing a job application, basic resume review, writing cover and follow-up letters, job searching methods, preparing for an interview (including role-playing),discovering strengths and weaknesses and unique talents, etc., and career transitions.

I have a B.A. degree in Education from Rutgers University, and I have permanent teacher certification (science) from the State Dept. of Education.

Subjects include English-reading, writing, speaking, Math, Science, Study/Test Taking & Computer skills. I also have teacher certification from Sylvan Online, and I have been qualified to teach teaching Elementary Science & Math from WyzAnt Tutoring.

Thank you, Jennifer, for your feedback. I am glad it was a very positive experience for your son. He is very talented and has lots of potential. I look forward to working with him again on Monday.

Very good interview preparation.

I reviewed possible interview questions that were pertinent to the field with Joseph. He did a great job with this. We also worked on correcting my inflection/speed of speech.
