It teaches me strategies on how to get a job and proper manners on how I should act in an interview." Fifth grade student "I put my JA experience on an application for a bank teller position. The bank called me in for an interview, but as a loan analyst. It turns out that the bank president was a classroom volunteer and knew first-hand what JA had taught me!"
