Below is the description and outline of the presentation by David Tyburski:

The intent of this presentation is to educate students about finding “the job,” not just “a job.”  I hope to do so by sharing my knowledge and some of the “good, bad and the ugly” experiences I’ve had during my tenure in the staffing industry.

  • The Job Search…minus the b.s.
    • Social Media:  Your “perfect job” assassin.
    • The REAL Resume
    • The squeaky wheel gets the….J-O-B.
  • Do this.  Don’t do that.
    • Zero!!!
    • Pulp non-Fiction
    • Networking:  Rinse and Repeat.
  • When in doubt…Pearl Jam
    • Go
    • Unthought Known
    • Elderly Woman Behind a Counter in a Small Town
    • Once
    • Mind Your Manners
    • Hard To Imagine
    • Rearviewmirror
    • I Am Mine
