[nabs-l] Could the NABS host a "get a job" webinare series?

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    If you attend the 2009 National Convention there will be an all-day 
employment workshop hosted by one of the top job placement trainers in the 
country and a great lady. See you in Detroit.

I think that is a good idea especially sinse my counselor wants so bad for
me to go  to work in stead of going back to school wich I am planing on
doing even tho they don't like that idea.
