I dug out a few old "AHIMA Journal"s and some "For The Record"s so they could look at those high paying technical jobs out there in coding land.
I drove to the high school and parked near the fence and walked towards what I thought was the entrance. A sign said, "All Visitors Sign In At The Office".
Um, Okay, I would if I could get the door open...so started walking around the building and about a half a block further found the main entrance. Signed in and was escorted down the hall.
Nice bunch of students, asked polite questions, got a few prompts from Miss S. I was hoping to spread the word to more people but eight is a good start. I don't think any of them will be inspired to jump into HIM but I managed to inform them that the degree was very portable and practically recession proof and the pay is "comfortable".
I should have told them that the job opportunities at CVH will be open by the time they graduate from college and come home looking for a job as we older folk will be looking more seriously at retirement and I have almost 3,000 books, only 7,000 to go in order to minimally stock my book store.
Anyway below is the pictures I took of them. Eight students, six ladies, two gentlemen. Maybe someone will mention the career to a friend or relative......

That's pretty cool...did you tell them that you wanted their photo for your blog?
It would take far too long to explain to them what I did and then I would just caution them to stay away from the grocery industry. Is that the same thing as recruiting?
Good job, I remember career day while in high school and there were many things I new I didn't want to do. Your job is recession proof, unfortunately 18 year olds don't understand what that means.....
Carlah dee dah...people gotta eat, hence grocery industry is a winner. I did ask permission to use photo on blog. I posted my email addy and blog addy if anyone wanted to read the thing.
