    What a great experience! Paul took the time before, during and after class to answer questions and clarify minor details which was VERY important to me (I tend to ask a lot of questions). I agree with Melody that more resume tactics would help, but his teaching style was humorous, understandable and straightforward. This workshop should be 4 hours, but I now have a more clear and detailed idea of what I want, what program is the best fit for me & how I will outline my next steps towards an MBA.

    • “ Paul did a great job! He covered everything about MBA application that I need to know and he did a very thorough job going over the essays. I really need a lot of pointers about the essay. It was very insightful on how competitive the application process and how important to not short selling yourself. ”
    • “ The MBA workshop was very helpful in getting an overview of the application process and knowing how to structure and strategize all the components of the application. Paul was very knowledgeable and seems to be familiar with all of the top schools and their requirements. I think it will definitely be beneficial to work with him once I actually get into the essay preparation. I would've liked him to go over resume tactics a little more. Overall, I definitely gathered some great tips for MBA prep! ”
    • “ Straightforward no nonsense timely information. Paul keeps it very real. The class was very interactive. ”
