Testimonials
With the help of Career Resources, rearranging my view of myself became easy when I based it on the dollars I was saving my employer. By putting together a bulleted list of the company goals and the specific results of my work toward those goals, I was able to clearly explain my value to my employer. To my great delight, before I was able to get through one third of the list, I received the raise I was hoping for.
I enjoyed the career seminars and the helpful information came at a perfect time. I applied for several job positions —at a large medical product manufacturer and, out of the blue, two days after the Kaplan University seminar, the company actually sent via email follow-up questions for a position I had applied for. I felt confident in answering their questions.
With my degree, I will be starting as an officer in training, and not just a correction guard. I will go in with officer's pay, which I would not have been able to do without a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
