Dear Friend,
The Job Hunters Boot Camp is Wednesday, November 9! I look forward to seeing you at the South San Francisco Conference Center, 255 South Airport Blvd, in South San Francisco. Please arrive at approximately 9:30 a.m. so you have a chance to pick up your program, make an appointment at the T.O.O.L.S. tent (for those interested in resume critique or interview coaching), and to begin making connections with other resource providers and employers. We are pleased to be welcoming 26 employers and offering eight workshops. Parking is limited around the conference center and public transportation options are available. Please see their transportation link to find the best option for you: http://www.ssfconf.com/getting_here/map_and_directions.html
Lunch will be available for purchase on site or you may bring your own. Dress for success, know that some employers do accept resumes at this event, so bring multiple copies, and look forward to networking!
