"To be perfectly clear. I did not work at University of California, Merced. I was a student there from August 2009 to May 2013. The site here did not give me an option to say that I have not had any actual job experience of today yet. On the other hand, it was a great school and I learned much from it. I will use the skills it taught me to wherever I end up."
