Feedback from Career Week 2013 Attendees
“…The event was well-planned and well-orchestrated. Yet, there was an air of relaxation
that relaxed the tension and stress that comes with being unemployed, and uncertain
about the future. The speaker/presenter, Mr. Eric Hellige, is a phenomenal presenter.
Mr. Hellige is an exemplary example of what the Alumni Sharing Knowledge (ASK) program
intended to provide. I believe "ASK" is his middle name. Eric came to share some
information, he did not come to be an infomercial to promote/sell Careerbuilders.com
products; he came to share and teach his fellow alums how to utilize online job
sites more succinctly, more strategically, and more successfully. All I can say
is: he came with preparation and passion; he conquered a skeptical, but hopeful
audience; and he delivered an immeasurable amount of information, in a minuscule
amount of time.” (Alumna Donna Williams Murray)
“Thank you very much for the great workshop yesterday on Spirituality in a Job Search.
Believe it or not, I found it the most enjoyable and beneficial of all the workshops
I attended. The only event that came close, or may have exceeded it, was the networking
event at the end … but that’s just by nature hard to compete with!” (Event
attendee)
“[The Job Search at the Next Level with LinkedIn] presentation was great.....wish
[we] had another hour. [The guest speaker, Colleen Fashing] made everything so interesting!!

“DePaul’s annual Career Week is engaging, motivational and provides structure for
those in search of their next career move. Each session provides an active learning
environment, where theory transitions into an action plan for professional development.
No matter what stage of your career you are in, you will be provided with a step
by step process for obtaining your personal career goals.” (Alumna and ASK Mentor,
Leslie Andrews)
