Hello everyone. 0:41 My education prepared me to pursue my career goals, 0:44 but an unexpected health crisis 0:46 nearly upended that overnight. 0:48 Despite all of my hard work in school, 0:50 I found myself underemployed and raising a family. 0:54 I had lost all confidence 0:55 until I heard about the University of Phoenix's 0:57 commitment to career support. 1:00 University of Phoenix students 1:01 have access to tools, resources, 1:03 and support from career advisors for life. 1:06 I received one-on-one support from an advisor 1:09 who helped me articulate my education and skills on a resume 1:12 and prepare for job interviews. 1:14 She stood by me and empowered me to understand my dreams, 1:18 put them into perspective, and go achieve them. 1:21 But the support doesn't stop there. 1:23 Students and alumni can access a suite 1:25 of resources on networking, personal brand development, 1:29 salary negotiation, 1:30 and more from the second they enroll 1:32 throughout their career. 1:34 The education and support I received from UOPX 1:37 was a tremendous asset for reaching my professional goals. 1:41 As a career-oriented professional, it means the world to me 1:44 to know that my university cares about my career growth 1:47 and is always there to support me when I need it. 1:52 UOPX is a part of the foundation 1:54 of the professional I am today 1:56 because online education reinforces personal responsibility, 2:00 achievement, and accountability. 2:02 It allows people, no matter where they come from, 2:05 the opportunity to better themselves 2:07 and shoot for the stars. 2:09 And get this. 2:10 I'm also enrolled in UOPX's doctoral program. 2:14 Attending the University of Phoenix 2:15 has been the best decision for my education and my career. 2:19 I am looking forward to the day 2:21 that I will be Dr. Shammai Terry. 2:26 That's it for me. Alex, right back to you. 2:35 - Wow. What an amazing accomplishment, Shammai. 2:38 UOPX students have access to a team 2:41 of dedicated advisors that help 2:43 with one-on-one career support, resume building, 2:46 and interview prep for life at no added cost. 2:49 Students can feel confident 2:50 that their degree will prepare them 2:52 to succeed in today's workforce. 2:54 Thanks for sharing. 2:56 (bright music) University of Phoenix alumna Shammai Terry explains career support, including one-on-one advising, resume guidance, interview preparation, networking resources, and how these services can support students and alumni as they work toward professional goals.
