Another success story

I graduated from CS in 2005 and was hired by a national company right away. That was 3 years ago. I tested for my CMT as soon as I reached my 2 year anniversary. I have had a great experience with working and I owe it to my training through Career Step. I think you will be fine!

Good luck to you with your studies!!!

Reminds me of a story; and I have a question
A story I read many years ago in Readers' Digest was about a guy who tried to get hired to operate heavy equipment even though he had no experience. He lied, got a job and was fired the first day because it was obvious he didn't know anything. So he went to a similar company, stayed a few hours longer and was fired for the same reason. Third hire, he had enough experience from the first 2 that he kept on for decades.

So, while not commenting on the merits of how you went about it, I do have a question: Did they figure out after you were hired you had no experience? Do you still work for them?

Career Step Success Story

Hello. Well, I graduated from Career Step in December and now have a job that I love. I thought the course was great. I still go to the Graduates Forum on Career Step everyday, and people are getting jobs everyday, even with all the negative chat that you hear on MTStars and MTChat. I know that the price was right for me and that I had a job a month after graduation. I know there was a slow hiring period in the last few months b/c of holiday, New Year, and whatnot. I don't know what negative talk has gone on about the Career Step program. I try to stay away from all the negative comments on the board - they are just depressing - lol. I hope whatever you choose works out for you. The only thing that scared me was all the EMR talk right when I graduated. It still scares me, because I love this job. But, it is pretty much out of my hands. Right now I am a happy working MT.

Good Luck :)
