| FACES OF PENN FOSTER |
 “I’m from Saudi Arabia. I work in a company that does sales and maintenance of computers. I registered in the Penn Foster PC Maintenance and Repair Program. I have completed the training and in my experience I learned new things I didn’t know before. Even better than the training program, I had easy access to support and assistance when inquiring about something and quick replies from staff. Actually, my studies with Penn Foster are something fun and useful, and now I hope to register in an undergraduate program.” —Dyab O. |

Cover All Your Chances with a Cover Letter.  Landing a job can be a gamble in many ways. Timing, the right connections, the mood of the interviewer, the age and skill level of other applicants — all are part of the luck of the draw in job hunting.
