SLA-NY's Employment Task Force is sponsoring a full-day LIS career fair on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010, in conjunction with the LIS Online Career Fair.
If you're in the job market, you could participate online from anywhere by registering for $39 ($29 for students, $79 for groups).
Or you could pay the same amount or less, depending on your travel costs, while networking and lunching with SLA-NY members. The live event, limited to 50 participants, is free to members of SLA's New York Chapter, or $20 for others (including members of the New Jersey Chapter who are not also New York members).
If you're an SLA member but not a member of the New York Chapter, you could pay the non-member fee, or join the chapter ($18 a year until the end of 2009, then $20.) I personally have paid the extra dues to join both the New Jersey and New York Chapters, but I realize that money is tight, especially for those who are looking for work and would benefit the most from the career fair. So please email Janet Peros (contact information below) if you want to know if there are free spaces for the event before paying to join an additional SLA chapter.
