MILWAUKEE - On Tuesday, February 24, 2009, the Business Marketing Association/Milwaukee Chapter will host its third annual "lightning round" interview workshop for college students interested in careers in advertising, marketing, public relations, design and communication arts.

At the event, students will have the opportunity to sit down with marketing professionals for a series of 6-minute mock interviews.  Students will be asked a variety of "real world" questions to help them gain solid interviewing experience.  In addition, students can have their resumes critiqued and will learn more about opportunities available to them through the BMA, including the BMA scholarship, Road Shows and student affiliation.

A new addition this year will be the opportunity for students to ask questions of members of BMA YP - the Business Marketing Association's group for young professionals - about how to get that first job in marketing.

"For the past couple of years we have been pleased to host our student interview workshop as a valuable networking opportunity connecting college students and local business marketing professionals.  This event offers a 'real world' link between the academic and professional worlds where students may gain solid interviewing experience and immediate feedback for their future job searches," said Joette Rockow, BMA Milwaukee University Outreach Committee Co-Chair.

The event will be held at The Eisner Museum of Advertising & Design, 208 N. Water Street in Milwaukee, from 5:30-7:30 PM on February 24, 2009.  Student attendees must register online at www.bma-milwaukee.org by February 23, 2009.  The cost is $10 for all attendees.
