In this economic environment, many job seekers have had to be a bit more creative and look for jobs outside their field. Do you know how to market yourself to other industries? BPCA helps individuals prosper by defining objectives and helping people reach and exceed them. These coaching sessions were extremely popular at our last two conferences. They fill up quickly so don’t wait! Reserve your appointment and take advantage of this valuable opportunity.
Traffic explodes on the Urban League Employment Network site before, during and after conference. We direct recruiters to the site in our printed and online materials. Post your resume to the site (www.nul.org) before you arrive in Chicago and capture the attention of these highly regarded companies.
