In the real world, astute students and employers must optimize the search by leveraging their opportunities to meet. One such opportunity, to which all interested individuals are invited, is Recruiting Students into Public/Private Sectors, one of three panels offered at the Asian American Chamber of Commerce's upcoming special symposium for area employers and Asian-American students. The Recruiting panel, which was designed to appeal to both employers and job seekers who attend the symposium, will feature government and the private sector recruiters who routinely seek strong students and other entry-level professionals for career-quality positions as they address job seekers' concerns: * What are employers in the various sectors - government, technology, government contracting, professional services (accountants, etc) - currently looking for in candidates? * Professional, educational credentials? Skill sets? * Behaviors? Communication abilities? * What in a resume will catch a recruiter's attention? * What will make the recruiter/hiring manager want to interview the candidate? * What behaviors during the interview will bring positive results?
