Hi Mark. I am pleased to share that I have accepted a position with Fifth Third Bank!

At last month’s Transition Café meeting, I received some career advice from one of the attendees, who also helped me practice my interview responses. Another attendee shared a contact at Fifth Third who was helpful in giving me some insider perspective.

If I can be of any assistance to anyone one-on-one, I’m happy to offer any help and ideas I can! Thank you for hosting this great resource!

With kind regards, Elaine Frydrych
