1st job :)

Just wanted to share some good news.

I'm in my first term and halfway through my degree. Decided to put my resume out there while working through classes. Last week I got recruited through indeed by a local business, went in for an interview, and got hired as a staff accountant with a 50k starting salary. I have no prior experience, an unrelated bachelors in humanities, and a 2+ year gap on my resume. The interview went really well and the team was honestly impressed with WGU.

I've been applying for internships and getting nothing but rejections, plus struggling with bills. WGU is worth it y'all. I used all the career center resources and have been going to handshake events to help with the resumes and interviews. Highly recommend the program!
