Dear Faculty Member,
Please encourage your students to attend this highly relevant and important career program occurring next week:
"INTERVIEWING STRATEGIES FOR ACCOUNTING & FINANCE MAJORS"
Monday, September 27**
5:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Murphy Aud A&B
A professional HR representative who hires for accounting and finance-related positions will share his "insider information" about best (and worst) practices during interviews.
All students are welcome to come to this program to learn more about what the interviewing experience will be like when applying for Accounting/Finance-related positions. (Students involved, or interested, in upcoming On-campus Recruiting opportunities should most definitely attend this skill-building program.)
**PLEASE INFORM THE CAREER CENTER, IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND:
Email rcaya@sbu.edu; Stop in room 216 RC; or Phone 375-2384.
We look forward to seeing you at this event!
Thanks,
Renee'

Career Services
I know it seems early, but now really is a the best time to be looking for a job or internship.
Whiel we do not get as many recruiters to campus as some larger schools, we do get quite a few. I HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of what Career Services has to offer!

The National Commission on Writing - Press Release
The National Commission on Writing - Press Release
Why pay attention in English classes? Why read books? One reason is to improve your writing.
In a recent survey (released yesterday) business leaders made it known that "two-thirds of employees, both current workers and new hires, meet writing requirements. While lackluster writing skills do not necessarily impede success in all realms, more than half of the companies surveyed reported that they assess writing in hiring and promoting salaried employees."
YahooNews
"Writing is both a 'marker' of high-skill, high-wage, professional work and a 'gatekeeper' with clear equity implications," said Bob Kerrey, president of New School University in New York and chair of the Commission. "People unable to express themselves clearly in writing limit their opportunities for professional, salaried employment," he said
http://www.writingcommission.org/pr/writing_for_employ.html
Sure the survey is no doubt biased (did you really expect the National Commission on Writing to conclude that writing was unimportant?!), but the finding is consistent with everything I have ever seen on the topic and it can serve as a valuable reminder to all of us.

Office hours for the next two weeks
A few changes are necessary for office hours. Because of today's 3:00 PM presentation (by Paul Astorino), office hours are canceled. They will be tomorrow instead from 1 to 4.
On next Tuesday (September 21st), I have a board meeting that I have to attend in the afternoon. (I will leave after class). So next week my regular Tuesday office hours will be on Monday instead.
Of course, you can always just set up an appointment or email.

Paul Astorino
Just finalized things with Paul Astorino
He will be speaking in classes at 10 and 11:30 on
1) Stock Price and Assets
2) Global business
3) What is Sports Marketing? How it fits with finance
4) Maxims (this is the part that he will tell you to be solid corporate citizens)
He then will be speaking again at 3:00 in Murphy Aud. This is open to the public. The topic will be more focused on sports marketing, but would also tie in the points from his class presentations.

Forbes.com: The Art Of Pitching
Whether you are going for a job interview, trying to raise money for a business venture, or in sales, presentation is important. You could do MUCH worse than listen to the ideas of Guy Kawasaki.
Short version: stay to the point, be entertaining, and don't ramble needlessly.
