Strategic Factory's HR team is off to an outstanding start supporting the department of Business Communication's two Business and Professional Communication classes this semester with "real-world advice" on the job application process. Two representatives spoke with Professor Bob Ellis' class on April 6 and two more shared their perspectives on April 7.  The representatives will also be back at the end of the term to help with the classes' end-of-semester mock interviews. Student reaction has been enthusiastic, as the photograph shows! (Photo courtesy of Bob Ellis)
