So you want to get a new job!  Why not simply load up your resume on Monster, wait to hear back from recruiters who are anxious to get you into their company, pick the best one and go get the job?

I think we all wish it was that easy.
 
Actually, looking for a job just like anything else in that it requires a good project plan.  This presentation will help particiants Survive, Adapt and Flourish in today's tough job market.  Based on sound recruiting principles, participants will gain insight into how they can develop an individual career strategy that will meet their needs and improve their chances of success in their job search now or in the future.
 
Mike Callahan, PMP, MBA is Director of the University of Michigan - Dearborn, College of Business's Internship/Career Planning and Development Program.  In this role he works extensively with employers and students helping both groups pursue strategies to successfully bring new talent into the participating companies.
 
In addition to this role, he is also a member of the Faculty at UM-D and teaches courses in Career Planning and Development at the undergraduate level.
 
Mike spent 25 years with EDS in various leadership roles and during that time he was Director of Human Resources for both Latin America and EDS' Western U.S. Region. 
 
Registration links for this event will be posted shortly.

We are now also partnered with EMU to offer a PMP Preparation and MSProject Class in the winter term.  This is an approved class under the 'No Workers Left Behind' Program - so if you know somebody between jobs, please let them know that they could qualify to get government funding for this class.

The board is always looking for new ways to provide as much value to the membership as possible, through interesting chapter meetings, affordable PDU opportunities and the general interactive nature of our chapter. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve our value to you, the members, please contact me, or any of the board members for that matter.
Don’t forget, there are plenty of opportunities to earn inexpensive PDUs, all it requires is a little time on your part. See any of the VPs about being on committees or helping with some of the extracurricular activities to earn those valuable PDUs. Also, if you are a Project Manager by trade, you can declare up to 15 PDU’s per cycle (5 per year) for professional experience.
