Speaker:  Brian Mack
          Professional Recruiter
          TEKSystems. Inc.
          Atlanta, GA

Location: Hewlett-Packard Building
          20 Perimeter Summit (directly across I-285 from Perimeter
Mall)
          Atlanta, GA

Date:     Monday, April 7, 2003
Time:     7:30pm

  In today's I.T. job market, there are many questions which our
  members have been asking:

     What does the Atlanta job market look like?
     Are there jobs opening up?
     Should I consider a career change?
     Would some certifications help?
     Are the postings on the Web valid or just "resume fishing"?
     How do I avoid identity theft from fraudulent postings?
     Are these "resume rewrite" services worth the cost?

  Our speaker is a Professional Recruiter with TEKSystems, and has
  been involved with I.T. placement during the boom years and in
  today's lean years.  He will be addressing the above topics and
  other related issues.

"guru" session open to anyone wishing to attend.  This will start
around 6:45pm in the meeting room, and we will have one or more
gurus available to discuss whatever topics/problems/questions the
attendees care to bring up.

after 5:30pm to sit around and chew the fat and indulge in some of
the Fuddruckers cuisine.  This is a chance for folks to get
together and exchange rumors, ideas, assistance, etc.
