Subject: Finding jobs and internships in a tough economy - 3 workshops

Dear Administrators,

We know that many students are concerned about finding jobs and internships
given the current economic situation.  With this in mind we are offering
additional workshops this winter/spring to help students in their job and
internship search.  Please send this notice on to your students regarding
the next three workshops.  

Thank you!

1) In A Tough Economy -
Does Your Resume Communicate the Right Message?
Wednesday March 11, 2:15 - 3:30 PM, Room 2-136	
Open to Grads, Undergrads, & Alumni
Workshop Leader - Bob Dolan

This workshop will discuss the many ways of creating a resume that
effectively targets the Hiring Manager. Can your resume survive a 15 second
scan and still get into the YES pile? Discussions will surround the
strategies of effective messaging and how to be "on-point" with your written
communication. Your resume is not an autobiography, but rather a list of
relevant accomplishments that links your skills to the needs of the company.
You'll use these techniques in your lifelong career strategies.

questions. You will distinguish yourself against the competition with this
