Whether you're a hiring manager or a job hunter, come learn the secrets about candidate selection and job placement.



Managers: Is your team’s workload growing faster than you can hire new talent? Do you agonize over which candidate would be best for your team? Do you have trouble persuading candidates to say yes, even when it looks like a perfect fit? Come to our workshop, we can help.



The goal of this class is to give attendees a distillation of best practices for creating new job positions and filling them. Taught by a long time engineering leader and hiring manager, it has a unique analytical approach that will resonate with engineers. This workshop will be the mentor they always needed.

About the Location:



After turning off of Jefferson on to Alla Road, there is free street parking at the first right, Coral Tree Place. From there you can enter the Reserve business park at the Gate 1 main entry which is the gate near the end of the road, or via a pedestrian entrance near gate 2. Space 900 is the large building that is closest to the Gate 1 main entrance.



Again: Please park on Coral Tree Place. :)



This is a joint meetup with Unix Users Association of Southern California.



About the Speaker:



Lori joined her first Internet startup as a senior UNIX system administrator at a company that eventually went public. This got her hooked on the thrilling growth and success process and within a few years she started an international executive consulting practice. She is now COO at Vertical Sysadmin, a company that does engineering consulting and corporate training. In 2017 she co-founded the ShellCon infosec conference in Southern California and developed RaiseMe, a unique career development effort for nonprofits. RaiseMe has successfully helped people re-career into their first infosec engineering roles and offers IT leadership training courses like this sample workshop.
