Subject: AITP Meeting - Tuesday, June 10th
To: AITP Members and Friends of the Garden State Chapter
Our next AITP meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 10 at The Gran Centurions banquet facility inClark, NJ. This is the same facility we met at last month.
This month the Chapter is presenting its first ever panel discussion on IT career opportunities in the NJ area. Featured are four accomplished individuals who are deeply involved with different facets of the IT career process - an HR Executive, a CIO, a Career Coach and a Senior Recruiter. This should be an exciting opportunity to learn about the present IT job market in NJ - who's hiring, skills in demand, training opportunities, job searching and interviewing advice, etc. This meeting is designed for all ITers, not just those who may be currently unemployed. You should not want to miss this opportunity to listen to and interact with our panel of IT pros.
Again, I kindly ask that you let me know if you will be attending.
Thanks,
Doug Hobby

PANEL DISCUSSION ON IT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN NJ
=======================================
Let's be honest about it, most every IT professional is seeking to find out what is going on locally in their profession. We question ourselves - what if I get laid off? Are my skills becoming outdated? What do I need to do to make myself more marketable? Who's hiring? Etc.
The panel we have assembled are in the position to address these questions, as well as answer any questions or concerns that you may have regarding the subject.
