The seminar will be held on Friday, March 30 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Prudentialas Newark, NJ headquarters, 751 Broad Street in Dryden Hall.

After the panel discussion, Prudential Human Resources professionals will participate in a Resume Review Workshop to give participants advice on enhancing their resumes and preparing for a job interview.

Itas also about being able to operate successfully in an entirely different culture,a said Brian H. Reich, CPP, Chairman of the ASIS International Law Enforcement Liaison Council. aOur Transitional Training Committee has hosted similar programs in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Boston.
