The CV, the Resume, and the Scientist's Job Search: What to Use, When and Why
Presenter: Joe Tringali
Session Sponsor: FASEB MARC Program

Any job search is, at its very core, a self marketing campaign. The best strategy is one that targets your message to the specific audience in order to help them move your candidacy forward. In this session, we will discuss who the audience may be, the message you might wish to convey, the vehicle in which it is conveyed, and the concept of message consistency. Our objective is to maximize the return you get on your efforts

Sponsors and Exhibitors will get the benefit of complimentary posting(s) with their booths or sponsorship. The packages are listed below.
