This week’s ajcjobs cover story discusses how industry networks can be valuable assets when job searching. The key, according to experts, is to become involved in professional organizations in your own industry while you are still employed. This way, you can build up valuable contacts and resources that can be tapped into if you do find yourself looking for employment in the future.
Below are just a select few of the many industry associations in Atlanta and online business networking organizations:
SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) - Atlanta
AMA (American Marketing Association) - Atlanta Chapter
Public Relations Society of America - Georgia Chapter
Job Seekers - Cobb Co. Chapter
