And, of course, definitely want to say thanks to all of the Spirit folks who volunteered their personal time to show up and talk to everyone. Great event, lots of fun, met some great folks and hope everyone gets the long app!

I wish you luck and success in your job search, but please leave that type of thinking at the door before kicking your shoes off and coming in.

You have heard of volunteerism right? In case you haven't that's where you give your time away...for free
