Thanks to the efforts of C. William King for his presentation to students preparing to embark on that all-important job search. After a simple dinner, Mr. King presented job search tips for those interested in the LATEST GET-AHEAD TECHNIQUES FOR A SUCCESSFUL JOB SEARCH.

Some tips include:  Get rid of the word "objective" on your resume, meet people currently performing the job you want, focus on small companies, attend free job search support groups, do salary research, and use your references proactively.

Job search phases include: Planning, Preparing, Seeking, Acquiring.

"I learned that you should always be networking; that means that you should be networking with people where you interned, your professors, alumni, your friends' parents, and your significant other's parents."

~ Brandon Bukovinsky

"Tuesday's special dinner and seminar were extremely interesting and insightful.  By having William King speak to us, I learned about the T-Letter.  It provides all the information about a potential employee to an employer by showing all the skills that the company can gain from that employee."

~ Stephanie Dolinar

"The most useful information that I took from Mr. King's presentation was when he discussed the Elevator speech.  The elevator speech is what you should have pre-prepared when you go into an interview, it is the answer to the question every employer will ask you, 'Will you tell us a little about yourself?' "

"In recent interviews, I have been stumped when they ask me if I have any questions about the company.  Bill answered by telling me to ask questions that pertain to the position of the person I am meeting with.  For example, if I am meeting with the president of the company, ask him the vision he has for the company."
