I was full time student for Los Angeles Valley College and Goodwill school for job training since the Summer 2001. I also wish you congratulated me. I graduated in December 2001 from Goodwill school of the Deaf Education and Community Center at the Goodwill Industrial of Southern California in Van Nuys, California. I have a certificate for Administrative Assistant with the Office Application Training. It was fun. I just started going to industrial job training in Burbank as the same time as I am looking for other job elsewhere in Los Angeles County right now. The Goodwill Job Development help me to find a job, too.

Last week, I had few great interview with some big companies and they were interested me in those job position. It was not really complex for me. In other word, I have a wonderful experience done job, and my resume is great....

Good luck,

Cado
