Sanford Brown Insitute, White Plains, NY HAD ME APPLY FOR 10,000 worth of student loans, promised employment assistance and after I graduated in May 2009, on had 3 calls from career services where they just asked me if I had found a job White Plains, New York
I am an Africian American female (adult over 40) that attended Sanford Brown Institute, 333 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, NY from 7/08-5/09 graduated with a 3.39 GPA. Prior to starting my externship with Dr. Noreen H. Linn, Internal Medicine, 222 Westchester Ave., White Plains, NY I was told that externship employment would not be promised but if hired it would be great. I was not hired within my externship because the school nor employer agreed; but what Sanford Brown Institute did PROMISE during my registering to attend this school was that they would help me find employment through their Career Services Department which has not happened. It has been 7 months since my graduation, I've applied for 35 Medical Assistant positions including Medical Receptionist positions through my own initiave and Headhunters and my response from the Headhunters "You need atleast 3-6 months of paid experience to be considered for a position." I answer them by stating how do I get this experience if no one offers me the opportunity (this includes companies that can see that I've had Receptionist experience just not in the medical field which is not hard at all). from May - present I've left numerous messages at Sanford Brown Institute's Career Services Department (Ms. Shawanna Ellis) an maybe she's returned my call 3-4 times but again she's just checking to see if I found a job (I guess it's for statitical purposes). Ms. Ellis did advise me in July 2009 that she had faxed my Resume to an employer to find out that the same employer she faxed my Resume out to was a duplicate employer that I faxed my Resume out to which I found on Craigs List! I advised Ms. Ellis that I was advised of this duplicate Resume that was sent out on Sanford Browns letterhead and I should be contacted to make sure were not duplicating Resumes. Ms. Ellis advised me that she can not call everyone that she sending Resumes out for. She also advised me that she sends out BUNDLES of Resumes at a time and I advised her that she should only send out 5 Resumes at a time because a potential employer in this economy now will not review her 35 Resumes for my graduating class of 2009 and outside job seekers searching on the web. I asked her if Sanford Brown has direct employer contacts and she told me NO, WE FIND JOBS JUST AS YOU DO! I asked her why? No answer, just that we do. My last contact with Ms Ellis was in October, she has not contacted me and I have not contacted her.
I did contact the President of the school around the second week of November regarding additional training that they promised we could have free of cost and to date and many phone calls and voice messages, President Rolanda Manna has not nor has the Dean of Education, Mr. Parkins.
Sanford Brown has already been paid $12,775.00 dollard through FAFSA and NYSHE. I would like to file an Appeal to have these loans withdrawn from Sanford Brown Institute.
At this point the longer I am unemployed, the harder it will be to fin employment in the field as a Medical Assistant which has been a waste if educational funding.
