Job searches are like jigsaw puzzles. They’re very difficult, and a lot of times you don’t know where to begin. Also, people do them a lot when they’re unemployed.

Luckily, Kim Reitter, Ed.D., Director of Career Services, is giving a presentation to help you learn useful job search strategies and gain a competitive edge. It’s taking place this Homecoming weekend, Saturday, September 24 at 10AM in room 253 of the BSC.

This event is part of Homecoming 2011. For the full Homecoming schedule, click here!
