APICS Atlanta Networking
Your Atlanta Chapter Board Offers a New Service to Its Members:
Monthly Problem Solving Roundtables
Starting with the September Meeting, Bob Beecy
CFPIM,CIRM, C.P.M., Board Member –at-Large, will host a monthly
roundtable, designed to give you the opportunity to share and discuss
problems and/or challenges you are having at work with your peers and
experienced professionals with the intent of soliciting solutions and
strategies for overcoming obstacles and finding solutions. While
the issues will tend to gravitate towards systems and software and
implementation, they are not confined to those subjects. As we have
folks with all types of skills and experience you are invited to bring
forward anything you would like to share and discuss. We also
invite members that would like to share their expertise to come forward
and participate.
Over and over again, surveys show that APICS members attend PDM’s to
network with fellow professionals. These round-tables will allow you to
do so in an even more meaningful way. To give you an idea what
experiences give Bob the wherewithal to host these sessions, we have
attached his bio for your perusal. The roundtables will be held in the
meeting room prior to the dinner, starting at 5:45pm, you are invited to
grab a beer, or a glass of wine, and join the discussion. See you
there!
Register Now for the
next PDM or visit our Events Schedule
at your convenience.

Career Networking
Jon Harvill CPC gives his Career Center suggestions for
networking...
Many of you have heard my opinion of job search priorities. In a job
search, your highest priority activity is to be face-to-face with a live
person. If possible that person should be in a position to hire you, but
more likely they will just know someone else who may need your talents.
During normal working hours, when you are not successful at being
face-to-face, you should be on the phone trying to get face-to-face.
After hours is the only time you can afford to work the less effective
methods such as the job boards, internet searches, newspaper help wanted
ads, emails and correspondence.
