Call for contributors closed

Thank you all so much for the fast and overwhelming response to our call for a few more potential contributors to our book! We think that we have filled the gaps (but we will keep your names in mind and will contact you in early July if we still need someone). We appreciate your interest! And we would like to encourage you to consider writing for LIScareer if you have career advice to share.

Thanks,
Priscilla Shontz
