JOB HUNTING IS A FALL SPORT... YOU HAVE TO PLAY TO WIN!

Saturday, September 13

All successful athletes make it their business to know what it takes to make the cut. They start early and make sure they're ready for the competition.

How about you?

Do you know what it will take to find the job you want? When should you start? How will you sell yourself?

It's time to get on the ball! All graduate and undergraduate students graduating May ’09 and December ’08 are invited to join the pros for a full day JOB SEARCH TRAINING CAMP, Saturday, September 13, 10 am-4 pm.
