With unemployment and underemployment the norm rather than the exception, job search success or failure can be determined by razor thin margins of knowledge and skills.

 

The Boston IVY+ Alliance is proud to present a panel of leading local industry leaders who will provide an insider’s perspective on the jobs outlook in their field and what makes an applicant stand out.  The panel will feature top executives in the fields of finance, healthcare, and energy. After the panel there will be skill based workshops with high level career advisors on the topics of Basic Presentation (resume, etc), Self Assessment, Networking and Interviewing.
