Looking for a Job in a Recession Panel

Good news for those stressing about finding a job in this difficult economy. Next Wednesday, April 29th, the Career Services Center will be holding a Looking for a Job in a Recession panel from 5:30-7pm in McLaren 252.

Come hear words of wisdom from a panel of experts on how to keep your cool during your potentially very trying job search. Government and Insurance recruiters, a Temp Agency Representative, a Financial Aid representative, and a Psychologist from the Counseling and Psychological Services Center will all take part, offering a range of different opinions about how to approach your situation.

Some sample questions to get an idea of what to expect:

“Who is hiring new grads right now in the Bay Area?”

“How do I make my loan payments if I truly can’t afford them?”

“Where are good places to meet people, professionally, off-campus?”

“How do I stand out?”

If you’re interested in these questions (and more), if you feel lost, confused, or anxious about your upcoming graduation date, if you're curious, or if you just want to be in a supportive environment, definitely come check out this panel.

Also, while there look out for our awesome career counselor Ellen Kelly Daley (who is hosting the event) as well as my fellow CPP Seghel. I’m sure they’d both be happy to meet you.

Hopefully we’ll see you there!
