EFE taught her everything from how to fill out a job application to how to deal with an angry boss - and how to look someone in the eye and smile, even though that ran counter to the tradition in which she was raised. She learned some business English and marketing as well. After several months of training, she interviewed with a bank and the plumbing company and received offers from both.
