Recruiting
Exchange |
| |
| The 2003 ACC Operating Committee is continuing an initiative to
try to match potential employers with future employees. To do so,
a Recruiting Exchange will be located at the Conference Registration
Desk. Conference attendees seeking employment can leave their resume
with the registration desk staff, who will make them available to
representatives from industry, academia, and governmental laboratories
who are interested in hiring. Interested job seekers should come to
the conference prepared with multiple copies of their resumes. |
| |
| All representatives from industry, academia, and government are
invited and encouraged to participate. If you and your institution
are interested in this opportunity, please contact the Vice
Chair for Student Affairs. |
