All George Fox employees and students may receive one complimentary ticket to the homecoming theater performance, The Acts, taking place at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 7-8, in Wood-Mar Auditorium.

Complimentary tickets are available all week between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the Information Desk in the Stevens Center.

The Acts is an original one-man play featuring alumnus Rich Swingle (’91), who brings to life the miracles and wonder of the first-century church as God’s Spirit empowers his people. Featuring scenes from the lives of Paul, Peter and many other characters, The Acts is an inspiring reminder of God’s work to establish his church.

Presenters Annette Nemetz and Alan Timmins collectively have recruited, screened, interviewed and hired hundreds of job candidates throughout their respective 20-plus years in executive and managerial positions.

Topics to be covered include what should and should not go in your resume; the role of networking in a job search; the effective use of social media; job hunting etiquette, including dress and courtesy issues; identifying target employers; ideas on negotiating compensation packages; and, most importantly, what hiring managers really look for in a future employee.
