Interview Match helped me have a better understanding what a resume was and the requirements you need. I leaned what a cover letter is and how to write one. I realized the skills that I currently have, and the skills that I still need to developed. It is a great program to help us in the future and how to plan a career to be successful by using all the strategies we have and sources we are able to use.

The Interview Match class is helpful, informative, and prepares you for life. From teaching simple subjects like email etiquettes the class gradually expands your knowledge on how to adult by teaching other important topics such as how to to apply to jobs, improve your resume, what to include in cover letters, and how to prove your skills to an employer. The only downsides are that the bosses are horrible. I haven't been paid at all, started the class 2 weeks late because the bosses never check their emails nor reply to them, and that there's no information about what to do for your classes (you only get information from your teacher). I've never been explained anything about the timesheets or my payment and thus only found out I was never paid on the last few days of the class. The teachers are super kind, and try to assist you in any way possible. I'm glad I got Hector Bravo as my teacher as he guided me in times I didn't know how to act and supported everyone in the class with positive feedback.
