Almost daily we are reminded of the current economic situation and the impact on the job market. The College of Business Career Development Center has developed a schedule of events to assist students and alumni in these challenging times. We have added evening hours on Tuesdays and are offering a weekly seminar for those Massey students/ alumni that find themselves in career transition. The workshop provides a process for job search, a demonstration of our exclusive online resources and best practices to engage your network. The workshop will also be offered the evening of March 3rd for those who cannot attend one of the Thursday afternoon sessions. Of special interest in February are the Nashville Career Fairs event (Feb. 10th) and the “Seven Secrets of the Hidden Job Market” Lunch and Learn Webinar ( Feb. 26th).
