I found out a couple days ago that I got the internship I interviewed for the day after we met to discuss my resume. They said they were looking for a senior (which I’m not) but that they were all (I met with 4 different people) so impressed with my interviews that they decided I was best for the position. Thank you for your help, your class taught me a lot of practical interviewing skills.

When Professor Threadgill asked the class what their three motivations in life were, I shuddered because the job I currently had satisfied none of these. I think I had become so consumed with becoming successful and making money that in the process I had lost myself. In fact, I was so moved by what he said to me that day, that I gave my two weeks notice at work and then consequently decided to pursue my dream of becoming a dentist. Although I knew deep down that this is what I always wanted, it took the support and guidance of Professor Threadgill for me to finally come to terms with something I had known all along and for this I will forever be grateful that I was fortunate enough to cross paths with him as one of my NYU Professsors.

Professor Threadgill, I want to thank you for encouraging me to pursue my "out there" dream. I sat down to write a story today, and it hit me why I really write. My reason is similar to the one that you gave in class, when we were discussing our reasons for choosing our career paths. I'm also afraid. Whenever I finish writing a story, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it again. So I guess I write to prove that I can. Thank you for everything.

I was a senior student in the October-December 2003 section of your interviewing strategies class. I enjoyed the course immensely, and I wanted to let you know that it has been invaluable to my career success. After spending about a month and a half looking for jobs prior to graduation (and using every bit of information and advice you offered throughout the course) I was offered three positions in may, all in my industry of choice and at good salaries. I was actually able to choose which job I wanted! Thank you so much for all your help and the enthusiasm you brought to the course. I especially found the resume-building tasks and interview advice (questions to ask, verbal and nonverbal cues to be conscious of, etc) most helpful, and I have passed on your lessons to numerous others. Please know that your efforts have had an exponential positive and successful effect.

Dear Professor Threadgill, I don't know if you remember me, but I was in your class for the first half of this semester. I chose Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP (law firm) as the position I was aiming for, and immediately after our last class, I received a voice message from the manager for their corporate paralegal department! To make a long story short, I interviewed, got the job and I start in July! Thanks for all your help and good luck with the rest of the semester.
