Program:	Join us for a panel discussion regarding the current job market for Project Managers. While there is no perfect formula to capture such a topic, we will offer opinions and perspective from three people who place, hire, and contract project managers on a regular basis. Look forward to answers and discussion around the following questions: <br><br> 1. How valuable is the PMP Certification? Is it a mandatory, or just a, “nice to have?”<br> 2. What are employers asking for the most? Contract, Contract-for-Hire, Permanent Placements?<br> 3. Are there specific hiring trends by industry?<br> 4. What kinds of additional training should I try to achieve (e.g., Microsoft Project, an advanced degree, etc.)<br> 5. What is the one piece of advice you would give PM’s looking for their next opportunity? <br><br> Our speakers will include a hiring manager from a local employer with a 500+ IT staff, a partner in an information systems recruiting firm, and a hiring manager from an information systems consulting company with emphasis on outsourcing IT professionals. Please come with your questions and expect a fast-paced discussion that could help lead to your next opportunity.
