NYCREW'S WHITE PAPER
May 15, 2009

| Last night, we also had the chance to meet CREW's national head honchess Jane Snoddy Smith of Fulbright & Jaworski, who traveled from Texas (no NY black wardrobe for her!) to help present the CREW National White Paper to NYCREW. We are in a historical and critical time, she says, a mix of bearish and bullish. CREW, which has grown 25% over five years, calls '09 "the Year of the Member," and is starting a leadership academy, holding a September convention in Boston, and is expanding internationally to Dubai and Denmark. |

We're in a market of opportunity, and it's not about finding a job, but finding the right job. In order to do so, you have to be situational and demographically aware, give yourself a candid assessment, have passion, and be proactive. She mentions opportunities in distress, bankruptcy, accounting, advisory, valuation and several other related industries. (More photos) |
