Put your career in gear

The Industry Partner Relations Committee is looking forward to hosting the 2nd Annual SMRP Job Fair on Monday, Oct. 18, 2010 in Milwaukee, WI. After listening to feedback from job-seekers and employers, we have made many improvements for this year's fair.

We've moved the time to the Monday prior to the conference to allow for more privacy and to be sure you don't have to choose between a session and the Fair. The Job Fair will be in a private room and contain private interview spaces available for reservation.

This Job Fair is a must-attend event for the movers and shakers in the M&R industry. It's timing is perfect as it is in conjunction with one of the world's largest gatherings of industry professionals, and the price is right! Job-seekers attend free of charge, while employers may take advantage of several cost-effective options. If you are already exhibiting at the conference, your table is free, just be sure to reserve it ahead of schedule. If you are an SMRP executive member, your table is only $150, and if you are a non-SMRP member, your table is only $250. We're able to do this because as a not-for-profit organization,
our commitment to advancing professionals drives our business strategies.

We saw the need and opportunity to host this event, and we seized it.
Will you seize your opportunity?
