Join this interactive discussion on career transitioning in a bad economy.
It’s no secret that with the economic downturn, many employers have not only
curtailed hiring new employees but have also eliminated existing positions.
Tactics that used to work for the job search don’t work anymore. We will
discuss creative approaches to targeting companies with job openings and inventive
strategies to get the interview and the job offer.
