Hi blog-readers! I'm Dr. Riebold. The wonderful people at 304 Community Education asked me to give a personal update on the Back to Work program at FCI Morgantown. I am very grateful that the organization has let me volunteer my time and efforts to help our community. It's nice to kick off retirement every once in a while and teach for a bit and I must say, this program is moving along splendidly.
As most of our readers already know, the Back to Work program is a six-week resume & cover letter writing workshop for inmates at FCI Morgantown. I have 24 students total, and we have finally reached the halfway point. My students are putting a lot of effort into their revisions and their resumes look amazing. They have really surprised me in the time and effort they are putting into making their documents organized and professional.
Some of the most amazing resumes have come from students who thought a resume was just a hand-written list of their name, phone number and previous experience. I am glad they have learned how to effectively organize their work, focus on making documents look professional and effectively sell themselves for a position. (I am really proud.)

We will be starting cover letters next week and I hope to see as much effort put into them as the resumes. If anyone wants to help me grade and revise these documents, I'd be glad to have an assistant go over everything with me. Feel free to contact me or any of the members at 304 Community Education via their email at English304@gmail.com or (304) 293-5566.
