Our presentations were on using Social Media to find a job, Green Job opportunities in California and Resume and Cover Letter techniques.

Our goal was to give the attendees useful tips they could take back to their students and clients and I think we that is what we accomplished.

It is refreshing to talk about Social Media, job search techniques and what opportunities are emerging in the new economy. Green Jobs!

Looking forward to working with them more closely.
