Webcast:
In their new book, Chris Resto, founding Director of a professional development and internship program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ian Ybarra, a recent MIT grad and writer, and Ramit Sethi, personal finance blogger and a recent Stanford grad, surveyed and interviewed more than a thousand students in an effort to share with corporate recruiters how their organizations can emulate those with superb practices- Microsoft, McKinsey and Goldman Sachs.
According to Resto, Ybarra and Sethi, "few organizations have demonstrated as massive a commitment as these three to recruiting the best and the brightest. Few other firms have engaged in such a systemic, nationwide recruiting strategy." Join us for an afternoon with the authors of this insightful new primer into the world of on-campus talent acquisition in our last webcast of the year in the College Recruiting track.

Hi Matt,
Great question- I am afraid that you may be disappointed by the lack of feedback to this post as the original webcast aired in Dec. of 2007 and as a result, this page does not get much traffic. I would suggest posting your question on our LinkedIn group, as the conversations are updated frequently.
