I have not been posting networking events for each week and I am going to try and get back to doing that regularly.
It is our hope that the information we provide on this blog will help you to find a new job or make connections with people at the various networking events. Remember, we also have a Job Leads page where we will post hot job leads as they are sent to us or as we find.
Below are the events/meetings for the remainder of the week of March 28. As always, if you know about other career fairs, meetings or events that would benefit job seekers, please send a note to jobseekersview@gmail.com. Thank you.
