The Magner Center for Career Development and Internships has developed a Project Hope Recession Action Plan designed to provide Brooklyn College alumni that have been downsized or facing an uncertain employment future with resources to assist them with finding and securing employment. Project Hope aims at maximizing the potential of alumni to meet the challenges of today’s economic conditions. The Recession Plan is filled with valuable resources essential to a successful job search or career change.

In addition to the Recession Action Plan there are other resources that can be quickly accessed that augment career change and employment search activity:

• Project Hope Recession Action Plan for Alumni
• Sign up for Twitter and Facebook to get the most up-to-date career information from the Magner Center.
• Vault.com - The Insider Career Network

• CUNY Big Apple Job Fair - Friday, March 20, 2009
• PC Magazine's 20 Best Job Search Web Sites
• The Riley Guide - The Best Guide to Online Employment Opportunities and Job Resources on the Internet

The Magner Center encourages alumni to maintain their connection to their alma mater, to return for services, and to contribute to the development of current students through participation in the activities of the Leadership Forum, the Professional Skills Training Program and the Brooklyn College Alumni Association.
