Use Social Media to find a Job: Attend our Backpack to Briefcase Conference

Use Social Media to find a Job: Attend our Backpack to Briefcase Conference
By: Mike Wong
Ever wondered what to do after graduation? How can you prepare yourself now for the “unknown” after you walk that stage? Don’t worry, these are questions that are asked by everyone at some point during their university journey. To help answer these questions, Career Services is hosting their annual Backpack to Briefcase conference, on Saturday March 16th, 2013.
We have the pleasure of having SFU alumni return to share the lessons they have learned and wished that they knew before they graduated!
Some of the fabulous career and work search topics include:
Networking: Essentials for Today’s Job Seekers
How to Find a Job in a “Jobless” Economy
Tips & Strategies on Creating Resumes That Will Get You Noticed
Tweet Your Way Into a Job: Advanced Tactics to Find Your Next Gig Using Social Media
There is limited registration so make sure you reserve your spot now! Call Career Services at 778.782.3106 or for further details visit our B2B website. Earlybird registration is $25 and ends March 8th!
To help raise awarness of this upcoming Backpack to Briefcase conference, we interviewed Kelvin Claveria, an SFU Alumni who is one of the presenters. He will be sharing his experience with Social Media and how he utilized various tools and strategies to enhance his career success.
