recruiters: "better comm!" - us: "comm workshop this Fri!"

We try to get a lot of feedback from employers/recruiters about our students and overall, they're quite pleased but the one thing they all agree we need to improve is communication skills. Not programming, or database or networking. Communication skills, over and over. 


Ok, here's your chance. This Friday, the 22nd, 1-4pm, BBC121 (note room change for this event only), the MIS CareerEdge series is bringing in a professional communications consultant, Anjali Rao, from Charis Intercultural Training. She's designing a special, interactive workshop customized to our students with strategies and tips for job interviews, etc. and accent reduction for those who need help with that. RSVP to me now (Timothy.Hill@sjsu.edu) to hold a space.

NOTE: We are now opening up these CareerEdge sessions to all MIS students, not just graduating seniors, though the latter do get first priority.
