This is not a market where you can only count on your experience or your education to attract attention. Job seekers need to be prepared and proactive to actively promote themselves. The most important parts of this process are planning and following-up on all leads. RAA HARTFORD CHAPTER: The Chapter has a slate of exciting activities for alumni to get involved with and revel in the Rensselaer spirit including: pub nights, theatre events, educational seminars, fundraisers, and fan festivities for Rensselaer athletics.
