NYSCEEA (New York State Cooperative & Experiential Education Association) 2006 Conference
Sunday. For some faiths, it is the day of rest. For others it is the beginning of the work week. For frequent travelers like me, it is an easy way to get a jump start on the week by flying out in the afternoon or evening so that we don't spend work hours flying. Of course, that comes at the expense of personal time so it is always a struggle.
I am about to board a flight for a one day trip to Lake Placid, New York for the 2006 NYSCEEA (New York State Cooperative & Experiential Education Association) annual conference. I was honored when they called and asked if I would be interested in being the keynote speaker. Tomorrow morning I will talk about how corporate and third party recruiters should use social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace to include students and other candidates in the hiring process and how recruiters should not use social networking sites to exclude candidates from the hiring process. Should be fun.
After my presentation I have time to hang around for a couple of hours and then I drive to an airport to catch the first of three flights that will get me back to Minneapolis tomorrow evening. These trips are a lot of fun as I am usually fortunate to be able to connect with a lot of bright, passionate people. The downside is that not too many of them are likely to be sitting in the seats next to me while I'm flying or waiting to board my flight.
