I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Chen during a Hiring Fair at National Holistic Institute in Ontario. She was very inquisitive and eager to learn as much as she could while she was in school. Jennifer joined the externship program at Burke Williams Pasadena where she received coaching on body mechanics, massage techniques, communications and other skills to enhance success as a massage therapist. After graduating and becoming a Certified Massage Therapist, she applied and was hired. Here is her story about the hiring process with a Burke Williams Recruiter and how she enjoys working at Burke Williams.

"Jenn was invaluable in the process and could clarify quickly by text when I was confused about the application. We even scheduled a phone call where we went over topics and questions that would be asked in the interview, essentially having a mock interview with a coach."
"As a new graduate from massage school with student loans, it is greatly appreciated that Burke provides Tuition Reimbursements. Working with different massage therapists, hearing their experiences and stories, and connecting with them to gain insight on how to last longer in this career field, avoid burnouts, and working with other types of clients like professional athletes. There is an ease of picking up or getting coverage for shifts with the Open Shift Pool."
Needless to say, I got the job! And the first person I shared the news with was Jenn as she was instrumental in helping me feel prepared and confident for the interview."
