A recent poll conducted by Directions Magazine indicated that half the respondents are actively looking for employment, and 27% are currently unemployed. While these statistics likely overstate the situation, it is clear that concerns about jobs and employment are on the minds of many. This workshop will address: 1) how the current economic realities are impacting the job market; 2) where the jobs are; 3) which jobs are "hot"; and 4) how to plan your next career move. Recruiter Rich Serby will be joined by a panel of university and private sector representatives who will discuss their thoughts on current trends. In addition, if you bring your resume, Rich will review it for you.
