One Day workshop designed
to increase the probability
for success in the hidden job market.
Iona College has recently become a partner school affiliated with The Response Companies to offer our alumni professional job search and career building assistance. Annette McLaughlin,Vice President Talent, The Response Companies, was the keynote speaker at this year's MBA chapter event in February. According to her presentation, in today's hidden job market,
5% of jobs are acquired through job boards, 5% are from recruiters and
90% are from networking.
Aware that in this
turbulent time members of our Iona Community may be in need of career
assistance, we encourage you to join us for a unique one day workshop offered by Career Advisory Services, a division on The Response Companies, that is designed to increase the probability
for success in the hidden job market. These
services provide individuals with a broader understanding of the market
