Durham's Professional Placement Network Academy Hosts Interviewing Best
Practices Workshop

Event Set for April 18; RSVP Requested

 

DURHAM, N.C. - Career minded and job-seeking professionals now have an
opportunity to participate in the expansion of one of Durham's
best-opportunities for job search success.  

 

The Professional Placement Network Academy (PPNA) is hosting a series of
interactive workshops on topics designed to help every jobseeker. The
next event will focus on best practices for job interviews and will be
held Thursday, April 18, 2013, from 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at Springhill
Suites, located at 5310 McFarland Drive, Durham.   

 

Other topics to be covered later this year include negotiating one's
salary and compensation package as well as setting a financial plan in
today's economy. Events occur the third Thursday of every month. New for
this year, participants who attend four classes will also gain entrance
to a unique, invitation-only employment networking event to be planned
for later this year. 

 

The PPNA is designed to provide opportunities for mid-to-upper level
professionals who have earned at least $30,000 per year or have received
higher education credentials or professional certifications, PPNA
provides a place for professionals to come together to share ideas,
employment leads, and current job market information.
