Troy students A.P.T. to Succeed get career insights from BSMS

Sandy Burgess, owner of Burgess Strategic Marketing Services, participates annually in A.P.T. to Succeed, a collaborative program of the Troy School District and the Troy Chamber of Commerce designed to help middle-school students prepare for careers.

Sharing her insights as a business owner, she conducts one-on-one interviews with several students, reviewing portfolios demonstrating their academic achievement, personal time management, teamwork and
unique abilities.

A sampling of thank-you notes from the students shows how they value the experience:

“I really learned a lot. I think the advice you gave me would help me in high school, college and, eventually, the workplace.” – J. L.

“This is my very first interview; so, I was very anxious as well as excited. You were very friendly and kind, which made me feel calm and comfortable. I received really good advice.” – K. L.

“You gave me more experience and knowledge about the grown-up world.” – J. L.

“Just speaking with you made me realize that I shouldn’t be scared of real interviews because they are not even so bad.... Thank you again for the interview. I know it is a memory I won’t forget!” – A. L.
