Career Series LinkedIn Event: "Can Recruiters Find You?"
Join us for our final Career Series Event of 2025! Many of you ask how you can make a lasting impression through LinkedIn - this session is for you!
When Recruiters search for a Project Manager, do they find you or do they find someone else for YOUR JOB? Want to find out?
Instead of applying endlessly into the Black Hole of online submissions, wouldn’t’ it be great for the phone to ring only to hear a recruiter say, “I have an opening for a Project Manager, and I think you might be a really good fit. Would you be interested?” Are you getting those calls? No? Why not? Want to find out?
- In the first half of Al Smith’s workshop, he demonstrates the importance of being positioned on LinkedIn Page-1.
- In the second half he conducts searches exactly the same way recruiters do to see if his volunteers can be found.
- Finally, Al reviews each volunteer’s profile making suggestions for increasing their chances for success.
Are recruiters finding and calling you? Want to find out why not? Make the time to join us.

Special Interest Forums Joint Open House: “Risk, Resilience, and Reward – Mastering the Unpredictable in the Age of Disruption"
The PMI Atlanta Special Interest Forums Team is excited to announce our 4th Annual JOINT OPEN HOUSE, “Risk, Resilience, and Reward – Mastering the Unpredictable in the Age of Disruption” – an engaging panel discussion and interactive networking event. Due to popular demand for another session, we will continue with this fascinating subject and take a deeper dive into the future of Project Management.
The Special Interest ForumsTeam is comprised of eight industry forums and Toastmasters (Agile, AEC, Governance, Healthcare, Technology, Transportation, Clinical Research and Entertainment). All 8 Forums will join forces to host an engaging panel discussion and interactive networking event, in partnership with our key players (i.e., Recruiters & HR Professionals, Artificial Intelligence experts, DEI & ESG experts and Industry Subject Matter Experts).
Risk is no longer a side conversation — it is the conversation. Across industries, disruption and rapid change are testing project managers like never before. From AEC megaprojects and agile transformations, to clinical research breakthroughs, healthcare innovations, technology advancements and governance regulation challenges — resilience and adaptability have become more essential.
Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are further accelerating this shift, transforming how risks are identified, assessed, and managed. At the same time, recruiters and HR professionals are redefining what it means to be a low-risk, high-value professional, offering insights into career resilience and skills that matter most in 2025 and beyond.
This cross-industry event unites PMI Atlanta’s eight industry forums and Toastmasters with recruiters, AI experts, and industry leaders to deliver a dynamic exchange of ideas and practical strategies regarding: “risk, resiliency and reward” — spanning industries and career stages. Panelists will explore:
- Industry-specific risks and resilience strategies across all forums
- The transformative role of AI and emerging technologies in risk management
- How recruiters view career risk, talent pipelines, and the skills that matter most in 2025 and beyond
- The opportunities hidden in disruption — and how to turn risk into reward
Attendees will leave risk-ready with actionable insights to future-proof their projects, harness technology and AI, and strengthen their careers.
