August,<br />
<br />
I have done some of the steps you suggested, the linkedIn with SCIP and other related CI groups. However, there is not many announcement for positions. I will have a more interest in your RSS feeds for positions, as this is what I am seeking immediately.<br />
<br />
But as you suggested, I will pursue all avenues.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your reply and advice.<br />

Upendra,<br />
<br />
Here are some suggestions off the top of my head...<br />
<br />
1) What about the job seekers who cannot attend the conference due to certain constraints...?<br />
<br />
For the SCIP conference in 2011 you have two main options for free conference registration. One is to submit a proposal for a session. Individual speakers currently are given free registration for the conference. Choose your area of expertise that is of interest to other CI professionals and write a compelling proposal. The other option is…

For the SCIP conference in 2011 you have two main options for free conference registration. One is to submit a proposal for a session. Individual speakers currently are given free registration for the conference. Choose your area of expertise that is of interest to other CI professionals and write a compelling proposal. The other option is to serve as a volunteer to help with the logistics of the sessions. Both of these opportunities are widely sought and there are limited opportunities available, so pay attention to announcements for opportunities for the 2011 session. The ship sailed long ago for the 2010 session.<br />
<br />
2) How are we able to network with those already in the professional...?<br />
<br />
You're on the Ning group, so that's a start. Look for opportunities to join the Intelligence Collaborative webinar events (they're free) and sign up for the SCIP group on LinedIn. Watch for local SCIP chapter activities, IntelCollab events or raise your hand to organize an event.<br />
<br />
3) How can we help we find a a position ( even a contract position is a good start)...?<br />
<br />
I have RSS feeds of jobs that mention "competitive intelligence" and related terms on multiple job boards. From time to time friends and colleagues reach out to me. Maybe a jobs forum on Ning would be a useful resource.<br />
<br />
It's important to build and maintain a professional network. Professional networks require care and feeding BEFORE you need them. Recognize the need to give before you get. The people who maintain a positive karma balance are more likely to get help from the people in their network to someone who is running a bottomless line of karma credit. Thanks for your input,

Tough questions Upendra - I know in years past SCIP has had a limited number of assistant roles available for students and job seekers to participate, but not sure what the policy is now. Perhaps others here have some thoughts on how you could proceed with questions 1-3?<br />
<br />
As for question 4, I think there are pretty active SCIP chapters in NY/NJ - I haven't been out to them as a speakers in a few years but have in years past and found them very active.<br />
<br />
Anybody have thoughts for Upendra on this…

Thus my "kosher" qualifier ;-) nonetheless, I think it could be disruptively demand generating if done right. We could chat about it on the back half of the Friday telecon perhaps - or before then if you want to try and work something of a proposal up for SCIP to consider.
