The first session was so welcoming and I learned exactly how to build a strong resume. I learned about different keywords employers search for when hiring, and we talked about job interview skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today Adeola is working part-time while doing school. She credits COSTI in helping her improve her resume and prepare for a job interview. \u201cMy biggest learning was to treat a job interview like a conversation, and that really put me at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Adebayo is also in school and is already applying for summer jobs for next year. He is feeling confident as a graduate of the program. \u201cI always feel prepared now and I am so glad my sister has found success with the program as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both agree that COSTI\u2019s Youth Job Connection Summer Program is what youth need to succeed. \u201cIt allows young people to discover our own potential,\u201d says Adeola. \u201cMore than anything, it helps you feel confident in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adeola Thompson and Adebayo Thompson Adeola says taking advice from her brother Adebayo helped her get a job because it connected her to COSTI. \u201cI was doing my first year of university online due to COVID and needed to get a job to support me and my family.
