On Thursday, November 13, 2008 Glenn Carniello, Partner-in-Charge of the Orange County office, visited Cal State Fullerton's Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics to participate in the school's "Professor For a Day" program. Glenn gave the professors in a few classes the day off and shared with the students his experiences in business with a focus on how those experiences might benefit the students. Each class was 90 minutes in length and the students did a great job turning the time into lively group discussions versus a "lecture". Topics ranged from the current state of the economy, career path possibilities, resume construction, the interview process and what employers might be looking for in candidates. The students asked many great questions and hopefully were able to take away some useful information as they seek to begin their careers in the business world.
