Career Opportunity at The Hartford San Antonio

I am attaching a copy of an email that I received on Thursday, August 19 from The Hartford (NYSE: HIG), which is one of the largest investment and insurance companies in the United States. I highly recommend The Hartford; they pay well and provide good opportunities for on-the-job training and advancement. They are very happy with the Baylor students they have hired in the past, and they are apparently very interested in hiring more.

Michele Marcinik, who serves as a staffing consultant for the Hartford, has told me that she plans to conduct on-campus interviews at Robinson Tower on Friday, October 8. I have posted a one page job ad which explains more about the position for which she will be recruiting. If you are interested in applying for an interview slot with The Hartford, you can do this online via Monstertrak.

If you have any further questions about this position, please contact Michele Marcinik (email: Michele.Marcinik@thehartford.com; phone: 210.732.9292 extension 4208).

===============================================
Dear Dr. Garven:

As you know, we have been very successful in recruiting top Baylor graduates. Last semester, we hired Jillian Jaynes, Justin Price and John Crawford. We would not have been able to do this without your support. Once again, we are looking for top talent to fill our Underwriter Trainee class which is scheduled to start in early 2005. I have attached a copy of the job ad for your review. Please feel free to pass this along.

Thank you so much for the long time support and committment!
