Many factors will go into your job selection, including location, organizational culture, job responsibilities, potential for future advancement, and the financial offer. The total compensation package that comes with a job offer is a combination of salary and benefits. How are you going to evaluate the benefit packages that come along with the salary offers? Typical benefit packages include medical coverage, pharmacy, dental, vision, life insurance, long-term disability insurance, and some type of paid time off plan. You need to break down the cost of each of the components, both the cost to you and the cost to the employer, to get a picture of the total value. We'll teach you how.

Hunger Banquet
International Law Society
|
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
SMC Campus Center,
Ballroom
6:00 pm
Free to UMB Students
The purpose of the Hunger Banquet is to raise awareness regarding the Hunger crises throughout the world.
Here's how it works: Guests draw tickets at random that assign them each to either a high-, middle-, or low-income tier-based on the latest statistics about the number of people living in poverty. Each income level receives a corresponding meal. Guests can also assume characterizations that describe the situation of a specific person at the income level to which they've been assigned. Finally, all guests are invited to share their thoughts after the meal.
After a Hunger Banquet event, few participants leave with full stomachs, but all possess a greater understanding of the problems of hunger and poverty-and will feel motivated to do something about it.
Donations are optional, and will be divided and donated in full to Oxfam and the United Nations World Food Program.
