Testimonial
“The Experience Counts program at MCG Careers is phenomenal. I learned so much about the new ways of job searching, but more importantly, I learned more about myself – specifically my transferrable skills, my personality style and even Word tips. I have recommended this program to others and will continue to do so. If I ever find myself needing job search assistance, my first call will be to MCG. I can’t thank you enough.”
