Worker shortages and finding the right people with the right skills have been issues for Manitoba's business community for close to a decade.

The University of Winnipeg Professional, Applied and Continuing Education invites you to participate in an upcoming networking event for full-time Human Resource Management students - a Resumania. We believe that our students would value your experience and expertise in this industry and the insight you could bring this forum.
Resumania is based on the speed-mentoring concept. It will provide our students with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with recognized HR professionals and get feedback on their resumes. Students will move round-robin across 20 stations, where they will have 6 minutes with each professional. We will end the evening with a Mix & Mingle Hors d'Oeuvres networking hour.
Please consider the following information to determine your availability.
Details:
Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2013
Time: 5:30pm-7:30pm
Venue: 2M70 (2nd Floor, Manitoba Hall, Room 70, Main Campus)
Refreshments: Hors d'Oeuvres to follow
A small commitment of time will make a huge difference to our students. In a tight job market for new professionals, a strong resume can open doors which might otherwise be closed to new graduates. We hope to see you at this event.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Mekala Wickramasinghe at me.wickramasinghe@uwinnipeg.ca or phone 204-982-1143.
