Upcoming meetings [career management?]

[chy at genuity.com (Chuck Young)]

I like the career management idea as well.  Although many of us are still
employed, you never know what will happen to your employer or you tomorrow,
so it is good to be prepared these days.

What is the market like today (maybe we really don't want to know?)  What
are some characteristics of good resumes and interviewing techniques, etc.?

Seconded, or thirded :)

Thanks Dave,
All of your topics are worthwhile. I have some personal friends who are
recruiters. I'll see if they
would like to come down and have a seminar style meeting.
