Abstract: The unexpected happened to me on November 17, 2008… I was laid off. I was 20 years out of college, a seasoned software industry engineer, and leader, and was suddenly thrown into the pool of “Unemployed Hi-Tech Professionals” that numbered in the tens of thousands in the Portland area. A few months later, I was employed again, the results of a job search that involved techniques and technologies relevant to seeking employment given today’s hiring practices. This presentation/discussion will focus on: • Company hiring attitudes/practices • Key technologies and techniques for job searching • Considerations when working through recruiting companies • Right and wrong ways to apply • Effective approaches to getting that first interview • Making yourself stand out • Preparing ahead of time for when it happens to you Speaker Bio: Michael Hoffman is a 20-year veteran of the software industry. He has filled a variety of development and quality engineering, strategist, and leadership roles at companies such as Jeppesen Sanderson, Hewlett-Packard Company, Insight Distribution Software, Sharp, and GTE Government Systems. Mr. Hoffman’s experience spans the realms of communications systems, factory control/integration, embedded systems, PC applications, and web-base solutions. Additionally, he teaches various software engineering courses for Oregon Institute of Technology. Mr. Hoffman recently found himself involuntarily seeking employment at a time when many companies were downsizing and few were hiring. As a result, he developed strategies and techniques that proved effective in today’s job market for identifying opportunities, applying voluntarily for positions, interviewing, and following-up. Mr. Hoffman continues to mentor unemployed colleagues, sharing advice and best practices based on his experiences. Rose City SPIN: The Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum for networking, mutual support, and promotion of effective software practices.

description How are you and your company going to come out of this recession? What has changed during the past two years? Where are things headed for your business? Companies are reinventing themselves in a variety of ways - through diversification of products and markets; by shifting more manufacturing and sourcing to Asia; by hiring or contracting for staff whose skills weren’t even mentioned in job descriptions at the turn of the century (10 years ago!) With all of this change, what’s happening to the engineering jobs in Portland, and how does the role of the Engineering Executive need to change and adapt? This dinner forum is available to CTO and Engineering Executives from member and nonmember companies. Thank you Marger Johnson & McCollom PC for sponsoring this event. → How are you and your company going to come out of this recession? What has changed during the past two years?

update Calagator::Event 1250457831 Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan Roll back

description Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan This is a 12 Week Webinar for Business Owners who are great at what they do, but feel overwhelmed when it comes to Social Media Marketing If you're like most business owners you're frustrated by social media technology and having to fit it into your already busy schedule. Additionally having to learn how to market yourself on social media can be intimidating because it also involves learning the correct social media etiquette as well as the tools. You feel discouraged because you know social media is becoming more important for marketing a business but don't how to use the technology or you do know how to use it, but wonder why no one ever responds to your posts. Why isn't social media getting clients in your doors? The three magic reason you might be stuck! Notice if any of these fit you. 1. You feel intimidated by the technology and don't know where to start. You're getting lots of invites to social networking sites and you don't know what to do with them or what sites to be on. You've also been told you need to integrate blogs, radio, and other social media into how you promote yourself, but you feel scattered and unsure of where to start. 2. Your social media marketing plan is lame, or you don't have one. You are on some social media sites, but nothing you do seems to work and you don't have a clear goal in how to integrate social media into your marketing. It can feel like throwing a dart and hoping that you hit the bullseye, but you're spending a lot of time and money on your marketing and not getting the clients you want from it. Poor planning equals poor results. 3. Your doubt about social media's effectiveness for your business sabotages you. You've become convinced that social media doesn't work for promoting your business and you feel it's a waste of time, but you also wonder why your fellow business owners or colleagues are getting business from using social media sites. Your attitude is holding you back from capitalizing on social media. Can you relate to any of the above? I could and still do sometimes. You might have a wonderful product or be an excellent service provider, but if you don't understand social media, you could be missing out on lots of people who could use what you have to offer. The first step is to admit this so that you can fix it, learn new skills, and move on. What can you do to get unstuck with social media and move forward? 1. Get clear on what social media technology you need and learn it. Begin to make the mental shift away from an overwhelmed, over-worked self-employed person to a business owner who recognizes what resources s/he needs from social media, and then learn how to automate those resources, so your only spending as much as time as needed on social media. 2. Accept that you either don't have a marketing plan for your social media presence, or that the existing one is lame. You can easily learn the eight simple steps to setting up a social media marketing plan that works. You were able to master the skills of your profession or trade, so you can master the technology and marketing for social media. 3. Let go of being negative about social media. Social media is here to stay. Become empowered and unstoppable in your use of it. Decide to do whatever it takes to learn and integrate it into your business. A change in attitude can provide the right push toward bringing you success with social media. How does the Eight Steps to a successful Social Media Marketing Plan webinar work? We meet twelve times over four months and will go through the 8 steps to a success social media marketing plan. You'll work on setting up your social media presence and gradually develop a successful social media marketing plan. You'll be part of a powerful group of entrepreneurs who own businesses, just like you, who want to get unstuck with social media. You'll learn the technology AND the marketing together. The sessions will be a very focused combination of teaching, sharing, feedback, and support. At the end, everyone will have a completed social media marketing plan and presence to take into 2010! Begins October 30th and ends January 22nd (no class December 25th and January 1st) We meet Fridays 11:30-1 PST on the phone and website.

As a case-study, we implement a simple emulator for the Biphase Mark Protocol, a physical-layer network protocol in Haskell. The surprising result is that a pure functional language with no built-in notion of time is extremely well-suited for constructing such emulators. Furthermore, we use Haskell’s property-checker QuickCheck to automatically generate real-time parameters for simulation. We also describe a novel use of QuickCheck as a probability calculator for reliability analysis. Bio: Lee Pike is a member of the technical staff at Galois. Previously, he was a research scientist with the NASA Langley Formal Methods Group, primarily involved in the SPIDER project. His research interests include applying formal methods to safety-critical and security-critical applications, with a focus on industrial-scale endeavors.

create Calagator::Event 1250457831 Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan Roll back

description nil → Eight Steps to a Successful Social Media Marketing Plan This is a 12 Week Webinar for Business Owners who are great at what they do, but feel overwhelmed when it comes to Social Media Marketing If you're like most business owners you're frustrated by social media technology and having to fit it into your already busy schedule. Additionally having to learn how to market yourself on social media can be intimidating because it also involves learning the correct social media etiquette as well as the tools. You feel discouraged because you know social media is becoming more important for marketing a business but don't how to use the technology or you do know how to use it, but wonder why no one ever responds to your posts. Why isn't social media getting clients in your doors? The three magic reason you might be stuck! Notice if any of these fit you. 1. You feel intimidated by the technology and don't know where to start. You're getting lots of invites to social networking sites and you don't know what to do with them or what sites to be on. You've also been told you need to integrate blogs, radio, and other social media into how you promote yourself, but you feel scattered and unsure of where to start. 2. Your social media marketing plan is lame, or you don't have one. You are on some social media sites, but nothing you do seems to work and you don't have a clear goal in how to integrate social media into your marketing. It can feel like throwing a dart and hoping that you hit the bullseye, but you're spending a lot of time and money on your marketing and not getting the clients you want from it. Poor planning equals poor results. 3. Your doubt about social media's effectiveness for your business sabotages you. You've become convinced that social media doesn't work for promoting your business and you feel it's a waste of time, but you also wonder why your fellow business owners or colleagues are getting business from using social media sites. Your attitude is holding you back from capitalizing on social media. Can you relate to any of the above? I could and still do sometimes. You might have a wonderful product or be an excellent service provider, but if you don't understand social media, you could be missing out on lots of people who could use what you have to offer. The first step is to admit this so that you can fix it, learn new skills, and move on. What can you do to get unstuck with social media and move forward? 1. Get clear on what social media technology you need and learn it. Begin to make the mental shift away from an overwhelmed, over-worked self-employed person to a business owner who recognizes what resources s/he needs from social media, and then learn how to automate those resources, so your only spending as much as time as needed on social media. 2. Accept that you either don't have a marketing plan for your social media presence, or that the existing one is lame. You can easily learn the eight simple steps to setting up a social media marketing plan that works. You were able to master the skills of your profession or trade, so you can master the technology and marketing for social media. 3. Let go of being negative about social media. Social media is here to stay. Become empowered and unstoppable in your use of it. Decide to do whatever it takes to learn and integrate it into your business. A change in attitude can provide the right push toward bringing you success with social media. How does the Eight Steps to a successful Social Media Marketing Plan webinar work? We meet twelve times over four months and will go through the 8 steps to a success social media marketing plan. You'll work on setting up your social media presence and gradually develop a successful social media marketing plan. You'll be part of a powerful group of entrepreneurs who own businesses, just like you, who want to get unstuck with social media. You'll learn the technology AND the marketing together. The sessions will be a very focused combination of teaching, sharing, feedback, and support. At the end, everyone will have a completed social media marketing plan and presence to take into 2010! Begins October 30th and ends January 22nd (no class December 25th and January 1st) We meet Fridays 11:30-1 PST on the phone and website. Every class will be recorded, but you can call in from anywhere and access the website from any place with an internet connection. This seminar includes: * Training on the technology for the social media sites. You'll learn how to optimize and automate your social media presence. * The Social Media Marketing Plan handbook. * One individual 30 minute coaching call with me. * 12 group sessions over four months. * Seminar Discussion Blog where you can share information and ask question with each other. * Feedback from other professional, motivated business owners.

description nil → You've defined, sized and segmented your market. You've validated the market to verify that your product or service does serve an unfilled need in the market, and customers are willing to buy it. But how much will they pay? Many companies, large and small, set prices by making an "educated guess" based on gut feel and experience. But there's a better way to price: price your product according to the value your customers perceive. How do you value price? At this seminar, OTBC executive director Steve Morris will explain how you can use analytical techniques to gain a much better understanding of how customers value your product or service, and how much they are willing to pay. Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business.

description nil → Your product or service makes sense to you - but will it be compelling to your target customers? Entrepreneurs and small business owners often go with their gut feel - but that can be misleading. Not all of your target customers think the way you do! How do you make sure that the demand is there, before you spend a lot of time and money developing and deploying a product or service? Validating the market first decreases your risk, and gives you a much better understanding of how to approach your market with the most effective messaging and marketing. OTBC executive director Steve Morris will take you step by step through the process of validating your market, so you can be more confident that you are addressing an unmet need, and that customers will actually be willing to pay. Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business.

description nil → If you're either starting a company or revisiting your business strategy, defining your market and figuring out how big it is are important first steps. A clear market definition focuses your effort. Sizing the market tells you how big your opportunity is, which is important preparation for building a budget and a forecast -- and it tells you something about what sources of financing might be possible. Understanding your market's segments is the first step in deciding which segment makes the most sense to target. Defining, sizing, and segmenting your market is the first step in putting together a company strategy and a business plan. At this seminar, OTBC executive director Steve Morris will walk you through the process. Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business.

description nil → Yes, you've seen outlines for a business plan. But how do you actually sit down and write one? The answer is: you don't. Not as the first step, at least. First, you have a fair amount of homework to do. Homework such as defining your target market; sizing and segmenting that market; developing a competitive strategy; validating that your service or product fills an unmet need; value pricing your product. And the list goes on. In this seminar, OTBC Executive Director Steve Morris will review the different objectives you might have for writing a business plan, and the homework you need to do before you write the plan - and then will review what goes into the plan. You'll leave with a detailed action plan for preparing to write a business plan -- and with an outline of what should be in the plan. The good news: once you've done your homework, writing a business plan isn't that difficult! Who should attend: any entrepreneur or small business owner who needs to develop a strategy and a plan for launching or growing their business.

create Calagator::Event 1250457823 CTO & Engineering Executive Forum: Reinvention and the Role of the Engineering Executive Roll back

description nil → How are you and your company going to come out of this recession? What has changed during the past two years? Where are things headed for your business? Companies are reinventing themselves in a variety of ways - through diversification of products and markets; by shifting more manufacturing and sourcing to Asia; by hiring or contracting for staff whose skills weren’t even mentioned in job descriptions at the turn of the century (10 years ago!) With all of this change, what’s happening to the engineering jobs in Portland, and how does the role of the Engineering Executive need to change and adapt? This dinner forum is available to CTO and Engineering Executives from member and nonmember companies. Thank you Marger Johnson & McCollom PC for sponsoring this event.
