My name is Vahe Oksazian. I Just graduated with a master’s in history, a returning student with 20 plus years of work experience in addition to my degree. I wanted to commend you on the webinar “Navigating a Job Search in a Pandemic Market.” This was extremely helpful; your energy level and positive attitude are both amazing and inspirational, especially given the current circumstances with the pandemic. I’m going to also tell Alex and LeeAnn, my Placement Associates. Although it’s a crazy time and I haven’t received any interview requests, I realize that just having this experience through all the blogs, webinars, interview prep, and demo lesson plans I have come up with have been truly amazing and helpful. Hopefully someone will request an interview with me at some point, but if they don’t, I’m happy to have participated in these instructional tutorials.Vahe Oksazian History Candidate
