Please share this with your statewide Latino Network!

My name is Chris Dugan and I am the President of LatCareers.com We are having a
first in Alabama by having the states first and largest Latino Career Expo. We
are the largest Latino Career Fair company in the country and also one of the
three largest online latino job boards www.latcareers.com

Please share with your network about this event in Birmingham. As a second
generation Latino and working for the only Latina CEO of a job board in the US
we are proud to show the strength of education and professional experience of
Latinos throughout the US at our fairs.

We encourage you to attend the event as you can meet with up to 15 companies and
learn more about jobs, internships and opportunities. Having been in this
industry for many years and we are now facing probably the toughest job market
in 20 years, I would encourage you to come out and network and share this with
your network of Latino students. The sooner you start building and marketing
your personal brand regarding your strengths and abilities in the job market
the better.

The event is this Tuesday October 28th from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm at the Embassy
Suites in Birmingham (2300 Woodcrest Place). If you have any questions, please
call me. The website has all the details.
