School Brings Friends and Job

Keiko Hanawa moved here from Japan eighteen months ago. She jumped into classes at the Adult School, taking an afternoon Conversation class for ESL students as well as Finding a Job in the Bay Area (for ESL Students)."

Keiko says the Adult School gave her opportunities to learn English and understand American culture. She practiced with classmates from around the world - classmates who have become her closest friends now. "You never have such a wonderful experience if you didn’t go to the adult school."

About the job search class, she says, "This class was so helpful to find a job. Martin taught us how to write a resume, cover letter and answer the questions in the interview. I actually sent my resume and cover letter that I wrote in this class to my current employer. Martin encouraged and helped us to find a job and I made it. If I hadn’t taken this class, I couldn’t have gotten a job."
