She did her research, figured out which business jobs had strong demand, and decided accounting and payroll was the right choice. 6 months ago, she graduated from Herzing's Accounting and Payroll course, and got hired immediately as a receptionist/accounting assistant. Going back to school and starting a brand new career isn't easy. We interviewed Cris this week to find out what the process was like for her. We asked her to review the Accounting and Payroll program, including her opinion of the instructors, courses, internship, and career support services. Check out this interview to learn more about Cris and her experience at Herzing.

Want to know more about training, careers, and getting started in this field? Who better to talk to than Priscilla Grant?

She went straight into a full-time medical office position after graduation and has transitioned very smoothly into her new career. And she did it all while working part-time and caring for two children under the age of six! We interviewed Priscilla earlier this month to learn more about her story and see how things are going at work. Find out what Priscilla thought of Herzing's MOA program, her most and least favourite parts of training, and how she landed such a great job at Carefor Health and Community Services. Here are the highlights from our conversation.

And at her age, she assumed going back to school wasn't even an option. After all, she already had a stable job in accounting, years of business experience, and no reason to make a move.  But then everything changed when her sister got cancer, and Pauline became her primary care-giver.  [Read More](https://blog.herzing.ca/meet-pauline-how-becoming-a-personal-support-worker-changed-my-life) ## [Meet David: Computer Networking Grad Lands the Perfect Job](https://blog.herzing.ca/computer-networking-program-grad-who-landed-the-perfect-job) [![David at graduation computer networking Ottawa](https://blog.herzing.ca/hubfs/David%20at%20graduation%20computer%20networking%20Ottawa.jpg)](https://blog.herzing.ca/computer-networking-program-grad-who-landed-the-perfect-job) Jun 27, 2019, 10:10:09 AM *David Thibodeau on graduation day at Herzing College (computer networking technology program)* You really never know where life will take you. Most people switch jobs several times before settling into the right position. Others head back to school later in life to learn a completely new set of skills—and end up in a career they never imagined. David Thibodeau is a perfect case in point. He started a career in computer technology 10 years ago, gave it up to work in construction—and then found himself back at Herzing last year, studying tech all over again!
