After high school I struggled through numerous retail jobs. As fate would have it however, my wife would introduce me to someone who worked with the Chicago Public Library. I was able to land a job as a CyberNavigator, assisting patrons with technological issues and promoting digital literacy.

Although my major is psychology, interviewing an English lecture, Ms. Cornie Nulton was a great chance for me to broaden my knowledge, particular in English, enrich my experience, and reinforce my belief in my academic career as well as life.

My main focus in this interview was the relationship between the career and the personality, and what I gain was more than just the information that I expected.
