On Saturday morning, June 20, another Career Services Workshop presented successful strategies in job hunting.  Interviewing and resume writing were highlighted.

Stay tuned for next Career Workshop announcement.

Some ideas from a previous session:

1. Networking is the most successful strategy. Linkedin.com and Linkingraleighnc.com are two on-line networking tools.

2. APICS professional development meetings are a great place to network with operations management professionals.

3. Get business cards that include your Name, Generic Job Title, Telephone and E-mail: Give two to any friend or associate, one to keep and one to pass on.

4. Volunteering is an effective way to build, maintain and communicate your value.

5. Now is the time to upgrade your market value by gaining APICS certification.
