SU Marketing Students Design Free Job Search Webinar – April 30

Paula Morris’ Salisbury University Marketing 440 Class is tasked with learning-by-doing with a focus on content creation, in-bound marketing and data tracking. COVID-19 has offered a unique opportunity to put these skills to work in a real-life format.

For two years each successive class has participated in the building of a website called “Our First Job Search” (www.ourfirstjobsearch.com), a site designed to help students navigate the job market. According to Morris, when COVID-19 broke out, her students pivoted, adding content within days about how to manage a job search in this new environment.

A team of students also began designing a webinar, open to job searchers of all ages called, “When the World Starts to Rebound … When Employers Start to Hire … Are You Ready to Shine?” It will be held Thursday, April 30at 3:30 p.m.

Speakers at the FREE webinar include Kevin Fallon – SU Career Services; Kate Kearns – HubSpot Campus Recruiting; Ryan McGuire -The Harrington Agency; and Paula Morris – Professor of Practice / Marketing.

The website and webinar are completely the product of students. Learn more at www.ourfirstjobsearch.com. Look for the blue pop-up window in the lower left for the registration link or click here to register.

Students leading the efforts on the Visionary Team include Theresa Arrone, Josh Brien, Braeden Dahl, Elizabeth Dean, Andrea Kline, Kaitlin Krasic, Alyssa Lenac, Helen Martin, and Megan Stocum. Approximately 20 of the 30 students in the class have volunteered their time to help with the webinar.
