Testimonials

"I was at a cross roads in my career having worked in one place for 12 years when I decided to move on once my son graduated from high school. It took 7 months to get a single offer which I took immediately because of the 10% salary increase and the chance to work in the pharmaceutical industry. Within 4 months with my new employer, I realized the work environment did not match my values. My personality was constantly being forced within a "don't think just do" box and I was working an enormous amount of over time without any compensation. In addition I felt trapped and decided I needed to make the best of a bad situation. As my 2 year anniversary with this employer quietly approached, Onward Training and Education appeared out of the corner of my eye. After speaking with one of its principal founders I discovered that I was not trapped as there were options that I never considered. What worked for me was taking the scary and risky opportunity of working as a contractor for an international Clinical Research Organization. Within 3 months of working as a contractor, this international company offered me a permanent position within my field of expertise. And my salary increased another 15% - something I never expected."
