Please join Christy Dammen of the University of St. Thomas, Pat O’Donnell of the McKinley Group, and Tony Nelson of TBN Consulting as they discuss the best ways for you to apply your professional talents toward marketing your most important product…yourself. They will also discuss the hidden job market, and the do’s and don’ts of job search trends. This will be an excellent opportunity to obtain strategies that will put you on the inside track for landing your next job.
