Report from APA Philadelphia 5
Once again, the Exhibit Hall at this year’s National Planning Conference was one of the most interesting and energetic places at the conference. While it might not be quite so frenetic as in San Antonio last year (remember the CalTrans manager tackling potential job candidates in the aisle?), the job market for entry- and mid-level planners seems pretty robust. Two MCRP students with whom I spoke had to beat recruiters off with cats … uh, sticks. One of them was actually looking for a job! He spent quite a bit of his time here interviewing and has follow-up interviews scheduled with both cities with whom he spoke. It sort of makes me whish I were in the market!
Yet another reason (if you needed one) to attend these conferences!!
