"I am very glad I went to RYSA. The minute I entered the building I was surrounded by positive staff who wanted to help in any way they could. I got help on my resume and cover letter. I was able to have one on one discussions and mock interviews, which directly met my needs. The staff was very approachable and direct. It did not took long for the staff to understand what I was looking for. The industry links and resources available at RYSA were very helpful. I would like to thank all of the RYSA staff for running such a great organization."
