Lightning Round: Speed Interviewing & Resume Review 2012

Our Flagship Event: The Lightning Round!

Are you about to enter the "real world"? This event is for YOU!

This is a must-attend event for any student getting ready to apply for their first job. This is your opportunity to practice your interview skills, show your resume to local marketing professionals, and learn powerful tips to sell yourself through social media all in one night.

Three different sessions. One must-attend event!

Speed Interviewing:
Sell yourself in 6 minutes or less! Similar to speed dating, our speed-interviewing session gives you the chance to practice in a no-pressure, learning environment. You'll rotate to a new professional every 6 minutes, and gain valuable feedback on how to present yourself in a face-to-face interview.

Resume Review:
Your resume is your first impression on an employer - and your ticket to getting that first interview! In this session, marketing professionals will review your resume and give you personal tips on how to sell yourself on paper. Note: Make sure to bring plenty of copies of your resume!

Sell Yourself with Social Media:
So you're on Facebook and Twitter… now what? In this social media presentation, learn how to use your social media profiles to your advantage when you start applying for jobs.

Food and beverages will be provided.
