Professional Development Weekend Spring 2008

If professors (recruiters) tell you that they will give you the answers to the test (Career Fair) at the workshop, would you show up?

Of course you would!

Company recruiters will be there to critique YOUR resumes and conduct mock interviews one on one.  So bring your resume and get ready to answer questions, so you can get a 4.0 at the Career Fair.
