HE FOUND A JOB THROUGH THE AIM ALUMNI PORTAL!
Oscar Benedict “Junjun” Contreras III, MM 2003 logs in the AIM Alumni Portal at least once a week. “The AIM Alumni Portal is an excellent networking and career tool. I was checking the portal to look up on class directories for possible networking opportunities and happened to stumble on the careers portion. I can say that the leads I had through the portal have been more fruitful as opposed to those generated by the executive search firms that I dealt with. I have always had a response with AIM portal leads.” Junjun was hired as Business Development Manager for SENCOR (Systems and Encoding Corporation) last June 2007. For bona fide AIM alumni, here are simple steps to maximize the benefits of the AIM Online Community: How to find Career Options: 1.
