Finding Your Dream Job

For the past few years, IEEE Spectrum has run a special report featuring engineers who get paid to do things that many of us would do for free or might even pay to do. Some of them fell backwards into these dream jobs, but for most people, it takes lots of advance scouting. A Business Week article notes that the first step is understanding what you're looking for, then creating your dream job profile. "The narrower your scope," it says, "the easier it will be to identify potential employers and begin to research them." And the effort necessary to define what is an ideal job for you will make it easy to tell a prospective employer why their company is a good fit for you--something most job seekers can't do.

The Finer Points of Business Etiquette Most engineers know the basics of etiquette, such as which fork to use at dinner and saying please and thank you, but there are many finer points -- from handling business cards to making small talk -- that, if missed, could be noticed by a client and even lead to lost business.

Dayton Section Awards Banquet

For the IEEE Dayton Section Awards Banquet, we have retired Major General Louis C. Ferrano, Jr. as the keynote speaker, highlighting work from his recent book. Maj General (retired) Ferrano is the author of the book, "The Right Side of Leadership", which is rooted in personal right and good core values and character. It is a way of life. The Right Side of Leadership shows us how we can have solid core values as the foundation for all our choices and actions. Based on years of data gathering, study and experience, The Right Side of Leadership sheds light on how right and good decisions can be made consistently.

His keynote speech contains the information needed to challenge, fine-tune, and strengthen your leadership values and skills. Basic management fundamentals and educational information impacting today's leaders will be analyzed. An in depth analysis of historical changes in American culture that impacts individual core values, character, and decision making processes of leaders will be the focus of the talk. At Cornell University, during his undergraduate studies, he was one of the rare athletes who participated in both football and crew. His freshman crew was National Champions. He started Ferraro Consulting in 2003 and is active in community affairs in the Dayton Region in Ohio. He has long been interested in leadership. See where you and your IEEE leadership exist within the Ferraro's framework of The Right Side of Leadership
