Success Stories
Robert Jones
“I was hired for a contract position at Microsoft and
InterConnection was brought up in the interview. I was able to
describe the laptops they [Microsoft] were using. I could talk about
the problems and issues that come up, so it just shows that it does
help. I am able to contribute again as a paying tax member and also
as a person who can donate and get the word out about the importance
of this organization.“
