About this Event
There are no second chances to making a great first impression. Even the smartest and most qualified need to prepare!
So what can you do to stand out from the crowd? How can you rock the interview? What should you never, ever, ever do?
SJSU ASIS&T is excited to welcome our guest speakers Beth Anderson Schuck (College of Southern Nevada) and Samantha Leif (Colorado Department of Corrections), who will be discussing these topics and more! This career development webinar will help prepare participants for applying and interviewing for library jobs and offer insight from the employer’s perspective. Learn tips for impressing your future coworkers – and common pitfalls to avoid.
This event also marks the end of our fall 2014 Membership Drive. Join us and you could win a one-year membership to ASIS&T – on us!
