An annual favorite topic - IT Recruiter/Career Night
This year we have a stellar panel representing 3 different aspects of career advancement -
1) Bonnie Walthen - Corporate Recruiter for Western & Southern
2) Lisa Slutsky - Career Manager for MAX Train
3) Niccole Brege - Senior National Recruiter for Resolvit
So we've got an in-house recruiter for a large insurance company, an IT career specialist for a technical training company and a recruiter from a local consulting company.
This will be a good opportunity to find out about the IT market and upcoming trends.

Mike Robbins, Microsoft Powershell MVP and Leader of the Mississippi PowerShell User Group
Want to Get-Started with PowerShell but have no idea how to figure out what the commands are? Or maybe you’re already somewhat familiar with PowerShell but want to learn more? During this presentation, PowerShell MVP and Scripting Games winner Mike F Robbins will start out by demonstrating the entry level basics of PowerShell that will teach you how to figure out what PowerShell commands exist as well as how to use those commands. We’ll discuss and demonstrate the pipeline, remoting, one-liners, scripts, and functions, all while using industry standard best practices. Did you know that some of the PowerShell best practices differ depending on whether you’re writing one-liners versus scripts and functions? We’ll also cover how to extend PowerShell so that you can manage Active Directory, Exchange Server, and SQL Server and briefly demonstrate a real world scenario that includes all of those products. Fair Warning: This is a demonstration heavy presentation!
