With the current employment market weakness, our December program should be of interest to many. Brad Fischl, Director of Community Relations and Network Education Specialist for ICTP in Anaheim, and one of the sponsors of our meeting place, will present some helpful information. Here are the topics Brad expects to cover:

• IT certifications history - What, when, & why.
• Employers - What they are looking for and demanding.
• Training options - What you can't do can hurt you.
• Resumes - The good, the bad, and the ugly.
• Interviews - How to stand out from your competition.
• Job searching - Pitfalls and mistakes to avoid.
• Networking - Who you know is as important as what you know.

Brad has guided thousands of individuals from hundreds of companies and organizations towards successful IT careers since 1988. He initiated the first industry certification course (Novell CNE) at New Horizon Computer Learning Centers in 1989.
