I felt this success story was appropriate because it demonstrates the need to remain in contact with your CTS Career Advisor.  Student Benyamin J. is a Facilities Maintenance completer that lost contact with me and would not respond to my calls nor mail.  One day out of the blue Benyamin contacted me stating that he was working very part-time with UPS doing seasonal work not making much money.  Of course after I discussed the fact that he had been out of touch with me too long we moved forward with our job search strategies.  I provided Benyamin with a list of places to apply including OK Grocery, Benyamin explained that he did not have a computer at home and I advised him to find the local library.  He left his home after our phone conversation went to the library applied for OK Grocery and received a call by the end of the day from them and by the end of the week he had the interview.  Benyamin began full-time employment with OK Grocery at the beginning of December 2011 and I am now in the process of assisting him in searching for his very first apartment.
