91´«Ã½

CHICAGO - The 91´«Ã½ JobLIST Placement Center will sponsor a session entitled "Inside an Interview: Understanding What Hiring Committees Want" from noon - 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 26 during the 91´«Ã½’s Annual Conference in New Orleans.

Because of the competitive applicant pool for entry-level positions, it is important for those on the job market to know what hiring committees seek in potential candidates. The presenters will provide research- and experience-based information that will help entry-level candidates understand the interview process from the other side.

This session will be held in the JobLIST Placement Center, which will be located in Hall J of the Morial Convention Center. Feel free to bring your lunch. We will provide dessert.
