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.
