Tips for Managing Your Career and Finding Your Next Project

In these difficult economic times PMI and the Central Virginia Chapter want to help.  We have just wrapped up a series of workshops sponsored in consortium with the Virginia Career Network and the ISSA CVC.  In addition there are other opportunities that PMI and CVC offer.

Hardship Provision – Assistance with PMI Membership Renewal

Are you looking for work but still want to maintain your PMI membership? PMI has always offered a 1-Year Hardship Membership FREE of charge for anyone who is unemployed.  To qualify you must be an active member at present and have a minimum of 3 consecutive years of membership. For more details and appropriate forms, contact the PMI Headquarters Customer Service Department at 610-356-4600. 

Members of CVC can opt-in to the PMI CVC Job Opportunities mailing list and receive job postings.  Opt in at pmicvc.org/lists.htm .  This is a free service to CVC members.  We welcome any employer or recruiter sending opportunities to pmicvcjobs@pmicvc.org .   There is no charge to employers for this service.
 
CVC also recommends that you take this opportunity to “upskill.”  Our Certification Workshop offers a scholarship for this Fall’s session.  Also, ESI International, a PMI Registered Education Provider (REP), is offering a Stand Out Scholarship program for the unemployed.  See their offer at www.esi-intl.com/scholarship .

Of course joining us at our regular monthly meetings affords you the opportunity to network prior to the meeting.  See you there!
