Joint Service Academy Career Networking Night - April 9th, 2009 (Thursday)

The next Joint Service Academy Career Networking Night will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 pm on April 9, 2009 at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Virginia. In these challenging economic times, the value of doing "career networking" with fellow academy grads increases exponentially. By attending this event, you'll have the opportunity to both network and listen to career transition talks of relevance to those seeking civilian employment. It's also a chance for those grads who are working for companies that are hiring to make your fellow Service Academy alumni aware of those job opportunities.
