“Unfortunately, the downturn in the economy has resulted in corporations downsizing. In addition to the layoffs that have occurred, others are likely to occur in the near future. Many individuals have not conducted a job search for quite some time and it is easy to fall into the trap of simply responding to ads or internet job postings. This workshop is certain to provide valuable information on how to conduct a search for a new position by discovering the unadvertised job market as well as positioning yourself to stand out in a crowd,” said Anthony Macari, director of Sacred Heart University’s Stamford campus.

“I think this workshop is really needed right now – attendees will be in a position to jump start their job search before the end of the year and the low cost will help those individuals who may not have received extensive outplacement services.”
