CareerTrack Event: Your Résumé and Online Image
When does that first impression really start? Beginning with the résumé, today the perception you create comes from a variety of online “appearances.” Are you are aware of all the vehicles and venues required to deliver your message? What sort of an image have you presented?
If your job search is stalled, you might not be maximizing the resources available to generate employer interest. Or you might be sending an underwhelming message. And what is the perception of a technical professional who is totally unaware of social media’s components?

Preparing for the Data Breach: Live Incident Response Team Drilling
Interhack presents Preparing for the Data Breach: Live Incident Response Team Drilling at Platform Labs on March 24, 2010. Intuitively we understand how a plan can be well executed: we practice. Athletes practice their games day in and day out. Nobody wins on game day without going through the exercise. Is your incident response team prepared to win?
In business, incident response training is often a tabletop scenario over the lunch room table. Interhack conducts full mock events using real servers and personnel. Drawing on experience running these live drills with their clients, Interhack founder C. Matthew Curtin relates the process of planning for, executing, and cataloging the lessons from live incident response drills. The seminar will show how your organization can prepare for high-risk incidents using this live drill method.
When: March 24, 2010 7:30am – 9:30am
Where: TechColumbus Platform Lab; 1275 Kinnear Road; Columbus, OH 43212
