“I have to express my appreciation for Natasha’s passion and knowledge in the resume and career services arena. After 17 months without a job, and nearly 900 applications submitted, it was disheartening.  With a great conversation to identify my experience and goals, drafting a new resume, as well as the encouragement to apply in a new career direction, I’m now the proud owner of a shiny new job, and had two other companies reach out as well! Thanks, Natasha!”

“After I got out of the military, I came to Everglades University because I have always been interested in holistic healing, especially with herbs. I love how this school sets up a different class each month. It is perfect for the type of learner I am. There is a big sense of community here. Everyone is very supportive.”
