Just wanted to give you an update that we hired Carrie Buchwald, a relauncher who attended the Forum, as an Account Manager in our Corporate Education group. Carrie was previously an Associate VP with Robert Half, and had been completely out of the workforce for 7 years. She attended the session and liked the culture and atmosphere of the school, so contacted me to do an info interview. She had a strong background in sales and great skills, and I thought she immediately would be a great hire. She did everything right - from presenting her story, to leveraging her experiences, to interviewing. We would not have found her if we did not host the event, so I wanted to thank you so much for the opportunity to get to know your organization and partner with you. We definitely benefited on multiple levels, and this recent hire was one of them. The experience also reinforced our openness to hiring relaunchers. We actually hired 4 relaunchers in total over the last year and have 2 others on staff.
