OCTOBER 2007
NJCEIA and NJACE Collaborative Meeting
Thursday, October 25, 2007
New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark
Eberhardt Hall, RM 112
Following our joint NJCEIA/NJACE program on October 25, 2007, NJCEIA
will meet separately to vote on the following amendment proposals.
Please review these amendments so that you will be familiar with the
proposed changes to be voted on at the meeting.
1. Change the appointed role of Chair of Student Awards to an
elected officer position and change the title to VP of Awards &
Recognition. Article IV would have to be revised to reflect this
change.
2. Include VP of Awards and Recognition in Article VI, outlining
responsibilities of the new officer.
3. Add Archival Committee to standing committees as outlined in
Article VII. The role of this committee will be to record, maintain
and preserve the history of the Association. The Parliamentarian
will serve as Chair of this committee.
4. Confer honorary membership to past NJCEIA presidents upon
career retirement. They would be exempt from annual membership fees.
5. In support of the annual Mid-Atlantic Cooperative Education
and Internship conference, beginning in 2008, NJCEIA will pay
registration fees for one member per academic year who submits an
approved presentation proposal. A special committee will be created
to review and select one member’s submission.
6. In support of NJCEIA’s mission to train and encourage members
to conduct research and use evaluation strategies to strengthen
cooperative education and internships (Goal E), develop a
Practitioner’s Award to honor a NJCEIA member who makes significant
contributions towards this mission. Winner will be selected by a
committee. Actual award to be determined at a later date.
A member who wishes to vote on a constitutional amendment and is not
present may vote by absentee ballot or by proxy received and validated
by the Vice President for Communications, Laszlo Pokorny
pokorny@AESOP.Rutgers.edu,
no later than October 23, 2007.

Presenter:
Mr. Hank Fichtner, Flashvue President & Founder
Hank Fichtner created his first video resume and realized his
entrepreneurial talents while still a student at Lafayette College.
Opening for business from his dormitory room, he offered web-based video
profiles to fellow students. These home-made videos quickly became so
popular that he concluded that his next step should be to refine the
concept further and make it available to a broader market. In 2004, with
the strong backing and shared vision of Hal Kamine, Mr. Fichtner founded
Flashvue to perfect his idea and bring its benefits to the recruiting
industry.
Welcome and continental breakfast to begin promptly at
9:30 AM. No cost to attend this meeting.

Third Party Recruiting
Since employers increasingly use third party recruiters and have
diminished their internal career ladders, co-op/intern professionals and
career counselors need to be aware of these practices so as to better
advise students looking for employment.
- What policies should be created when deciding to work with third
party recruiters?
- What are some guidelines for temp agencies or search firms that want
access to your students?
- What are the ethics of a co-op/intern professional or career
counselor turning a candidate over to another party?
- When a temp agency says the position is temp to perm, how can one
tell it it’s true?
These are only some of the questions to be addressed at the March
NJCEIA meeting.
Speaker: Barrie Peterson, M. Div.
Director of the Institute on Work
Barrie Peterson has been a career counselor for 15 years. He wrote the
“Job Hunting” column across the top of the Bergen Record Business page in
the mid-90’s and co-founded the Institute on Work at Seton Hall University
in 1997. A nationally-recognized expert on workplace ethics and the growth
of various forms of contingent work, he publishes the “Consumer Guide to
“Best Practices” Temp Agencies” listing 42 participating NJ agencies and
250 reports on other agencies. He has been quoted in the NY Times, Wall
Street Journal, Star-Ledger, Asbury Park Press, Herald-News, Business Week
