Why Should I Return the Call from New Horizons?

You’re looking for work, or you’re looking for a better job than the one you have. You’re answering a lot of ads and sending your resume everywhere you can think of. Somewhere along the way you encountered some on-line information that says: There is a Career Boom in Information Technology that is going to make it feel like 1999 all over again!

Maybe you answered the ad because you are curious and you want to know what I.T. is. Maybe you want to find out if it’s really true that there are a lot of jobs in Information Technology. Maybe you’ve wanted to get into I.T. for years and just don’t know how to get your foot in the door. Maybe you have worked in I.T. for a long time, but are finding that your experience isn’t as valuable as it used to be.

There are probably as many reasons to respond to the bulletin as there are people who respond to it. Whatever the reason you responded; congratulations on taking the first step to a new career. I don’t know you, so I don’t know whether an I.T. career is for you or not, but we will never know if we don’t talk about it.

It takes courage to start on a Career Change. You’ve taken a courageous step by answering the ad. Don’t waste it. Follow through. Return the call and maybe you will find that I.T. is a good career for you and you’ll be on your way. Maybe you’ll find that I.T. is not a good career for you. Either way it is worth your time to return the call to New Horizons; there has never been a better time to advance your career in Information Technology.

What Will Happen if I Return the Call?

The unknown can be scary, so let me tell you what will happen if you return the call from New Horizons. One of our professional Admissions Advisors (John Chandler or Mark Rubin) will call to have a brief phone conversation with you. This call doesn’t have to take longer than two minutes.

John or Mark will ask about your previous work experience and your motivation for exploring an I.T. career. They will give you a brief background on New Horizons and what we do. If it looks like our Career Program might be interesting and helpful to you they will be happy to set an appointment to visit the school and see how our Career Program works.

If it becomes clear after a brief conversation that our program isn’t for you or you’re not really interested in an I.T. career, the Admissions Advisor will politely end the phone call and that will be it. What do you have to lose?

What Will Happen if I Agree to an Appointment?

Some people have had bad experiences making appointments on the phone. We are completely aware of the problem. First thing you need to know is that our Admissions Advisors are not interested in convincing you to come to our school or pressuring you into anything.

New Horizons Oregon has been successfully helping people improve their computer skills and enhance their careers for 26 years. We did not get to where we are by pressuring people and selling them things they don’t need. We have been successful in this business by listening carefully to our clients and giving good advice that solves problems. We are leaders in our field because we always look for what is best for our clients. What is best for our clients has always been the best for New Horizons, too.

When you arrive for your appointment you will be greeted at the front desk by our friendly registrars, who will let your Admissions Advisor know you have arrived. The Admissions Advisor will greet you and then take you on a short tour of the school.

While you are touring our luxurious facility you will learn a little about the business we have done for 26 years. You will get a chance to see the names of some of the 6,000 local employers who use our training for their employees. You will get to see the well-equipped and comfortable classrooms and labs. You will have a chance to review the certifications and awards of our teaching staff and you will get to hear some of the stories of our successful students.

Once you have completed the tour, you will sit down with your Admissions Advisor to see how the program works. Our Career Presentation takes about an hour and it will bring you up to date on the latest information on career opportunities in I.T. and let you know exactly how the Career Program works including tuition and financial aid. The Admissions Advisor will also take the time to get to know you a little bit, so he can understand your career goals and the motivations that are leading you to career change or enhancement.

At the end of the presentation the Admissions Advisor will explain the next steps if you want to be considered for admission into our Career Program. If it has become clear that our program or the I.T. career is not for you, the Admissions Advisor will politely thank you for coming and that will be it.

You answered the ad because you want a better career. You have taken the time to read this because you were curious. Momentum is already moving you toward your new career. Why not find out if I.T. is for you?
