1. REGISTRATION: 2009 Career Development Workshop, Friday, April 24th, 1 -5 PM, Jean Mayer USDA HNRCA

Please note that Registration is FREE but required. The deadline for Registration is Friday, April 17th.

Mark your calendars for the second annual Career Development Workshop! This FREE event is specifically designed for students and dietetic interns who are pursuing careers in nutrition. The workshop is organized by the Massachusetts Student Dietetic Association (MSDA) and Tufts University-Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy.

The 2009 Career Development Workshop seeks to enlighten students regarding their opportunities within the field of nutrition and to help them prepare for professional life. Attendees hope to learn how to find and prepare for jobs, to hear about the diversity offered by a career in nutrition, to gain valuable advice from professionals already in the field, and to apply their passion for health and nutrition to their careers.

The Career Development Workshop will provide skills that will be useful to all students—undergraduates and graduates—long after they enter the workplace. Examples of discussion topics include job-searching, financial planning, successful interviewing, salary negotiation, and professional résumé writing. Additionally, a variety of organizations and employers will be present to engage students’ networking skills and enhance their employment opportunities.

We are preserving natural resources by cutting down on paper-usage. We will post PowerPoint slides for all presenters who authorize release of their materials. We will make every effort to post the materials prior to the workshop. However; we strongly encourage you to bring materials to take notes. Attendees are responsible for bringing their own note-taking materials.

Lastly, you must have a valid form of identification to get into the HNRCA and verify your registration.
