The BCDO is definitely the main reason that I obtained employment at the firm and location of my choice. From editing my resume, to accepting and rejecting job offers the staff at the BCDO were there every step of the way to help guide me through the process. This was a very stressful time for me, but I always felt comfortable since all my questions were answered and there were more than enough resources provided by the BCDO to keep me informed.
