Flag Review - Honestly I am not happy with career point. They promised a lifetime of career help and upon graduation I've never gotten the help. I don't recommend this to anyone and the only thing I'm left stuck with is a loan that I can't pay because of no job. And if I do find a job, its not even what I went here for. My advice to anyone thinking of coming here don't do it. Its not worth the money. I went for legal secretary. The only thing I can say that I got from here was the skills that I've learned. Don't waste ur time or money here and that's the honest truth you'll be left in debt.

- I graduated from Career Point in 2007, and have a great job. The Career Point employees have always been there to give me advice and point me in the right direction. From that point it was all up to me. They gave me tips on how to improve my resume, showed me how to find jobs online, and gave me tips on how to search for qualifying jobs in my field. My job was to get the interviews and win them over. And as for the student loan, Career Point has comparable rates when looking at similar schools in the area. I believe it was worth every penny.
