Accelerator was absolutely instrumental in helping me jump into the professional world. I have been interviewing for positions ranging from startups to top ten consulting firms to collegiate tennis coaching positions the last few months and have received many offers.  Accelerator teaches the necessary interviewing skills and methods, and was a critical component in my success in landing a first job.
