“I am helping my employer gain more exposure by my graphic designs, from the website to fliers. And with this education, I know I will have a lot more knowledge to help me in this endeavor.”
“I have worked for the last 10 years in minor league baseball as one of the top sales directors. I recently took a new job offer as the Vice President of Sales for a minor league race track and drag strip. The reason I am taking classes is to get a degree in Graphic Design. I hope to better myself and spread my wings into a whole new category. With this new position, I am helping my employer gain more exposure by my graphic designs, from the website to fliers. And with this education I know I will have a lot more knowledge to help me in this endeavor.”

LETICIA C.
“By the way, I now work for a financial firm, and I teach people about their 401Ks. I make more money than I ever thought I would.”
“My name is Leticia C., and I am originally from Brazil. Mine is not the “poor girl from Brazil who didn’t have anything” or “the American Dream comes true” story. No, my story is more real than that. Growing up in Brazil, I always had pretty much everything, including a college education paid for by my parents. But there was something missing: responsibility. I never finished one single semester, and I kept changing schools. Overall, I attended four different colleges in Brazil, and not one single semester was finished. Now, almost 30, I find myself in the United States, married, with a child, and no college education. I was working at a supermarket bakery. But my desire to get an education never went away; it was actually stronger than ever. One day a coworker mentioned something about Penn Foster. So I went online that night and I signed up.” Read more... |
Once you’ve been called back for a second job interview, it may be tempting to think you’ve got it but an article on Monster.com suggests there’s still work to do. What is it about you that makes them consider you for the job? Why are you the right candidate? They may want to know more about your personal skills and interests to see if you fit in with the team, or they may want to see how you handle pressure. Expect more open-ended or challenging questions about your experience. Be prepared with examples in your head about projects you have managed and challenges you have met. A second interview is also an opportunity for you to address your own second thoughts or unanswered questions about the job or the workplace culture. Do you really want to work for these people?
