Prepare for Senior Sprint
The Senior Sprint (virtual career fair) begins today, and it's a great opportunity for seniors who are looking for a job. Over 20 companies will be gathering virtually May 13-15 to talk with students, and some are interviewing and possibly hiring on the spot.
To help interested seniors prepare for the Senior Sprint and navigate the process, Mrs. Jewart, Career Coach, has set up some Google Meets. If one of these remaining times doesn't work for you, email kjewart@madison.k12.al.us to set up another meeting time.
