I was told in my latest interview that they had contacted you for a reference. I would like to thank you for whatever you said – I was offered the job!
I’ll be working as a support desk technician at Columbia College – Chicago.
Just to let you know, and I’m sure I’ve said this several times, I can’t begin to tell you what a positive change in my life PC Pro Schools has made. Prior to attending PC Pro, I was the owner of three small businesses, worked all the time, and took home less than $20,000 a year as everything was going back into the businesses. After starting at PC Pro, I took the advice of one of Laura’s job search classes and “got my foot in the door” at a company for $10.00 per hour. Within three months (and while I was still in classes at PC Pro), I was offered a help desk position for $21.63 an hour. Not only that, but I was much happier with what I was doing for a living.
The position at Columbia is at $33.00 per hour. I’ve literally tripled my income within the last three years, and I can honestly say that it would not have happened without my training at PC Pro Schools.

I would like you to know that one of the reasons I am looking forward to attending is that I feel genuine support from you. It’s not that you just want money and that I’m another student or statistic. I really believe that you believe in me and that you want to see me succeed. I appreciate that and think that it will help drive me to prove myself the best that I can. I believe in the personal connection between staff and student and want to learn as much as I possibly can from the staff and the experience I am about to go through. I am ready for a change and this is the opportunity to be happy with my life. I have the resources and support to make myself feel like this is what I was meant to do and I am more thankful for this than you may realize.
I just stopped cleaning windows and took a job offer with Spectrum Health. It’s only housekeeping for now but by the end of my training I hope to be able to transfer to IT. Getting my foot in the door is definitely the first step in a good direction. It is my personal opinion that I will go on to help be a success story in a line of many for people that want to do something better and more meaningful with their lives. I have no doubt that I will be the most successful I have ever been with your help. It was your choice to accept me and that is why I feel that I should let you know how much this means. Thank you so much.
Periodically, ACCET (Accrediting Council of Continued Education and Training) comes out to each of our campuses to conduct a thorough review of our operations. They meet with students, graduates, faculty and staff. They call employers and verify our placement results. It’s an exciting and nerve-wracking experience but overall I hopeful the visit will go well!
In an effort to become completely transparent we have released the 2008-2009 Career Services Report. We know that there are a few Rip-off reports and Complaint boards posts out there about us. One even questioned the school management and how we sleep at night. So to answer the question…actually, my 3 year old still doesn’t sleep through the night all the time so sometimes I don’t sleep well but I can sincerely tell you, it is not because of the results of our students and grads. I stand strongly behind our school and the successes we have. Check out the report… http://www.pcpro.edu/pdfs/Career%20Services%20Office%202008%202009%20Report.pdf
Just wanted to say thank you for all your support and faith in me!
I have really grown very fond of everyone I have come into contact with while at PC Pro. I will never forget any of your fine staff or yourself!
Thank you again.
