The National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) is recruiting HR, diversity and career professionals to volunteer to critique résumés, conduct mock interviews and provide career coaching at the 2011 Annual Conference and Career Expo - Career Management Center. The event will be held from October 13th-15th at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
This year’s conference is expected to attract more than 8,000 attendees and over 250 corporate and academic exhibitors.
NSHMBA is known as one of the premier Hispanic organizations in the country and works to prepare Hispanics for leadership positions throughout the U.S so that they can provide the cultural awareness and sensitivity vital in the management of the nation’s diverse workforce.
Colleagues who have participated in previous national conferences have called this event one of the best volunteer opportunities they have experienced providing not only an opportunity to build pro bono hours but also to work with top talent at an exciting and vibrant event.
