(I) didn’t know the importance of thank you at job interviews and after being taught at CIES I got a job by a simple thank you. I want to encourage CIES to keep up with the good works as they are really helping the immigrants to find their feet in the society. I want to say thank you CIES for everything and recommend the programs to all new immigrants.
