Testimonials
The Interview Skills & Secrets Workshop really clarified a lot of the details related to finding a job as an engineer. The exercises and role-playing really made me think about what I wanted. It was a confidence booster to be realize I was the one in the position of power. I would recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to find a career in tech. It was especially helpful to our group of women, who have very diverse backgrounds and are looking to change careers.
Our Chamber was selective in choosing speakers for our inaugural Social Media Conference. Poornima did a phenomenal job explaining blogging to small and medium size businesses. She is articulate, knows how to capture the audience’s attention and has a knack for simplifying concepts.
