WorkSource is a partnership of government, education, and community organizations that offers a unique resource for businesses and job seekers dedicated to supporting Washington State’s employment needs. WorkSource started offering free Microsoft E-Learning access to training on Office and other products. The Chapter did announce these courses were available but has no idea of who took advantage of the opportunity. If you did sign up for this, WorkSource would like to know how the training went. Participating in this survey is voluntary and your responses will remain anonymous. Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=KN7XzeqiJ8HXvrHsebW1Kw_3d_3d Your data will be used to determine where and how WorkSource needs to improve WorkSource training. I hope you will take a few minutes to give your open and candid responses. If you have any questions about this survey please contact WorkSource: (888) 346-3807.

In theme with our last Chapter meeting re: Workforce Investment Act, I thought I would share some quick items regarding networking, reviewing job listings and landing the job interview.
CRAFT A JOB PLAN AND STICK TO IT -- you are a project manager, after all!
It is easy to slack off when you not have a time clock pushing you - BUT - set a schedule and stick with it!
I recently read information written by Bob Wienstin, the following are tips he offered tips for tough times:
Hope you find these tips helpful!

Inland Northwest PMI
Program Committee
The Challenge
Our PMI chapter has a challenge to find and recruit a new presenter or tour for each of our regular meetings. We also want to provide opportunities for our members to earn PDUs without the commitment of becoming a board member. So we’ve decided to combine these challenges and create a program committee. In concept, we'll have 5 to 9 members who would take turns setting up the programs for chapter meetings.
Participation on a committee for a year is category 5B, which is worth 5 PDUs. This translates to taking responsibility for from 1 to 3 programs in the span of a year.
The Duties
The responsibility of members of the Program Committee will be to:
1. Select program topics
2. Locate a qualified speaker for the selected topic
3. Ensure that the speaker has the information and equipment necessary to present the program
4. Make sure the speaker is ready
5. Provide for a thank-you gift for the speaker to be presented at the end of the program. Cost of the gift will be paid by the chapter.
The Commitment
Each committee member will be responsible for arranging a minimum of one and a maximum of 3 programs in the Chapter’s programming year depending on how many are on the committee.
The program committee member will work under the supervision and assistance of the VP Programs.
The Call to Action
Contact Warren Carpenter vpprograms@pmiinw.org or Dave Lennstron president@pmiinw.org if you wish to help form the committee, contribute your ideas, or volunteer to serve.
