It has been a pleasure having Jean-Marc as a panelist

on a workshop for international students on how to navigate the job search process for international students. He was so professional, knowledgeable and friendly as a panelist staying longer than required to answer students' questions as well as provide a wealth of resources for both students and fellow colleagues of mine to utilize in working with international students. Additionally, he is so motivated and easy to talk to-he is the symbol of an international student becoming successful and learning the ropes of business conduct. His resources, experiences and knowledge in assisting international students is something I strive to do in helping international students as well. I recommend him as a coach and a panelist for sure because he has a lot to offer. Thanks so much Jean-Marc for your amazing contribution to our recent workshop. I hope to invite you to future programs. Sanaz Nabati (Career Counselor at UCLA, Career Center)
2. I got an internship in the USA, in a company I wanted

to. Big thanks to "U in the USA", they greatly helped me finding this company and arranging an interview. I obtained a lot of useful knowledge, while working with "U in the USA" which I am applying already even in the University. And which will be very helpful when I am in the USA. Special thanks to Jean-Marc, he always believed in me! There was a moment where I was thinking of aiming something easier, but he said "You can do it, don't give up, we are almost there", and he was right! Believe in yourself.., it could just take little more time than you think to get what you want!.) I also like the phrase, Les Brown once said, Don't give up aiming what you want, otherwise you will get what you don't want... He said it in a bit different way but with the same sense.
