IIE University Night!!
So how’s that career thing going? Even if you’re that rare bird clicking on
all 8 cylinders, you know how important it is to keep abreast of workplace
developments and recognize better opportunities. If you find yourself in
transition or new to the career search you have an even more important
need to know the pulse of the job market and ways you can improve your
employment prospects.
Our September Technical Program is a panel discussion with three career
professionals from three different backgrounds. We are very pleased to
present Mr. Don Patrick of Areotek – a professional recruiter, Mr. Joseph
Radzavicz, Jr. of Medco Corporation – Human Resources Specialist, and
Mrs. Karen Huller of Charesume – a career counselor. They will share
their expertise on the current job market and industry trends to let you
know what you need, to be successful in an ever changing economy. There
will be amble opportunity for you to ask questions to help you gain specific
insight into circumstances affecting your career development so please
come armed with what is on your mind.
This program kicks off our 2009-2010 IIESJDVC Program Year and has
been designated IIE University Night. We are offering industrial
engineering students from Rutgers, Philadelphia University, Lehigh, and
NJIT free dinners when attending this program. This is a promotional offer
to the students so some advice specifically addressing the young engineer
who might be light on experience would be appreciated.
Dinner for this program is
FREE to IIE University
Members & Faculty
Advisors! Please RSVP!

About Our Speakers
Don Patrick is a professional recruiter for Aerotek the leading technical and professional staffing agency.
Aerotek’s staffing agency has recruitment professionals
who locate, select, screen and mobilize the talent
companies’ need. Their industry-specific focus allows
them to develop a depth of experience, expertise, and
connections many other recruiting and staffing firms
cannot match. Aerotek understands the challenges that
many businesses face when looking for qualified
staffing professionals. They also pride themselves on
knowing what people looking for employment want.
They have a proven track record of making sure both
the candidate and the company are completely
satisfied. Aerotek is a proven effective recruiting and
staffing agency.
Karen Huller founded Charesume in 2006 to apply
her six years of recruiting and executive experience
and other corporate experience to help job seekers
develop their own true job security – their ability to
transition. The interaction Mrs. Huller had with
candidates and hiring managers supplied an insightful
education on how employers, including Fortune 500
Pharmaceutical and Financial Services companies,
identify talent out of a vast pool of candidates. She
gained deep familiarity with the phraseology and
behavior that consistently aided candidates through the
placement process to accepting an optimal offer. The
coaching she provides is practical and procedural. Her
clients are active participants, ensuring that they
acquire the life skill of transitioning and confidence in
their ability to manage their own career. Of most value
to her clients, however, are her strategic partnerships
with over 35 select recruiting firms and dozens of
human resource professionals within hiring
organizations. Through these relationships, Mrs. Huller
Joseph Radzavicz Jr. is currently a Human Resources
Specialist at Medco Health Solutions. Joseph consults
regularly with management and employees addressing
labor relation issues. Prior to his current position,
Joseph spent two years recruiting various positions for
Medco Health Solutions. Joseph has eight years of
professional experience recruiting various positions
ranging from engineering to allied healthcare positions.
Joseph graduated from Richard Stockton College of
New Jersey with a Bachelors of Science in Public
Health Administration.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
September 2009 begins the balance of our 2009 IIE South Jersey
Delaware Valley Senior Chapter’s Program Year. Your 2009
IIESJDVC Officers & Directors and myself have been busy
throughout the summer months planning your programs for the
remainder of 2009 and first half of 2010. We held Board Meetings
in June, July and August to conduct the most important work of
our professional volunteer organization. We planned the best
programs possible on the “hottest” topics today in industrial
engineering and management that you can use.
Your May 2009 Just In Times Newsletter contained the 2009
IIESJDVC Membership Survey. Each of you was invited to
provide the topics you are most interested in that could become
one of our technical dinner meeting programs. Other than our
IIESJDVC Officers & Directors, not one of you completed the
short survey. Our IIESJDVC Membership headcount is still 162,
as reported in our May 2009 JIT Newsletter. Your Officers &
Directors were disappointed when our Newsletter Director, John
McGowan, reported for the third time over the past 3 months that
“Not one survey was returned by our IIESJDVC General
Membership! “It appears that apathy is alive and well in our
Chapter! But, not on your Board!
We are pleased to announce the addition of another new Director,
IIE Senior Member Michael T. Reyman. In view of the apathy in
our Chapter, we are truly blessed to have a large and active Board.
Our attendance at our Board Meetings averages more than 50%.
Their commitment and dedication is commendable. Attendance at
our programs averages around 10%, presenting us with a
challenge. Your participation and support is your Chapter’s
leadership’s primary goal. Please show your appreciation by
getting involved more than just reading our award winning JIT
Newsletter and visiting the Institute’s and our IIESJDVC
Websites.
Program Director Tom Masapollo and your Board have put
together a great program for the balance of 2009 and first half of
2010. Be sure to locate our IIESJDVC 2009 – 2010 Program
Agenda in this newsletter. Please plan out your schedule to attend
as many programs and plant tours as possible. Our September 23,
2009 Technical Program will be a Career Development
Roundtable with multiple presenters at the Quality Inn in Maple
Shade, NJ. Mark your calendar now and RSVP to Director
Masapollo at Tmasapollo@comcast.net. Also, another great plant
tour has been planned. We will be touring Melitta Coffee in
Cherry Hill on October 21, 2009.
Your Chapter’s Outreach Programs include Future City
Competition, Mathcounts, Career Day Speakers and IE Career
Quest© Workshops. The 2009 IE Career Quest© Workshop is
being hosted by the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s IIE
University Chapter this fall. IIE Faculty Advisor, Dr. Thanassis
Bladikas and the NJIT University Officers are always great hosts
in Newark, New Jersey. There are many ways to support our IE’s
of tomorrow, but none better than volunteering to work with our
youth. Your own children can benefit from the mentoring,
scholarships, internships and support activities. Our greatest
satisfaction has come from helping others grow and mature into
young professionals. Strong, ethical and moral professionals are
needed more now, than ever.
One of the largest IIE Corporate Members is the Boeing
Company. Over 40 of our 162 IIESJDVC Members work with
Boeing in its large Ridley Township facility in Pennsylvania.
Director Hardik Patel of Boeing serves on the current Board and
has been working to get his many fellow members to become more
active and participate in our various activities and programs. The
IIE’s Corporate Membership structure has presented the Chapter
with new challenges that we are working through.
I want to recognize Fred Rexon, our Vice President, for his
volunteer leadership as our IIE Northeast Assistant Vice
President, and Director Kevin Drevik for his volunteer leadership
as the IIE Northeast Region University Liaison and eNewsletter
Editor. Besides their responsibilities in the Chapter, they are truly
reaching out to all IIE Members! From all of us, thanks for you
unselfish and continuing support!
The 2010 IIESJDVC Officers & Directors Nominations
Committee is being formed at our September 2009 Board of
Directors Meeting. This committee is charged with putting
together a slate of candidates for the 2010 Program Year. Every
IIESJDVC Member in good standing is encouraged to become a
candidate and/or recommend someone. Please find our 2010
Officers & Directors Nomination & Election Schedule in this
newsletter issue and get involved in your Chapter. You will not
find a better group of professionals.
Internet Communications Director & Web Master Paul
Siebeneicher has continued to rebuild our IIESJDVC Web Site,
http://www.iienet2.org/chapter/chap132. Our 2008-2009
JIT
Newsletters are now available. Siebeneicher has added a Links

New Programs Heading This Way
Over the summer your Board of Directors put together a slate of programs that
addresses a variety of interesting topics. The topics range from career development (this
month!), lean, green, and mean jolt of transportation and quality issues. A couple of
always popular plant tours are also sprinkled into the mix. And to maximize, networking
opportunities, a couple of our meetings will be joint programs with other professional
societies. These programs are listed in this newsletter. Thanks to Program Director Tom
Masapollo for organizing our program plan. This program schedule will be firmed up as
the season progresses.
Response to our May Chapter Member Survey was light with no returns from our
General Membership. The intent of the survey was to get a reading from our General
Membership on what your thoughts of our Chapter programs, outreach, and Institute
and Chapter services. We’re not going to assume that no feedback means total
satisfaction. We hope you are pleased with your membership in IIE and want your IIE
Membership to be relevant to your career. Please know that your concerns are important
to us and feel free to contact any Board Director with suggestions to improve any part
of our Chapter.
Over the past several years, we have been issuing a brief membership directory/listing
on an annual basis. We plan on doing this again, in November with the issuance of the
newsletter. This listing includes your name, primary email, phone, and address as listed
in the IIE data base. IF you want all OR any part of this information NOT included
in the November JIT Newsletter, please contact JIT Newsletter Editor at

A Dead Duck Tale
A woman brought a very limp duck in to a veterinary surgeon's
office. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or
two, he shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry. Your duck
Cuddles has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead," replied the vet.

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He
returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador retriever. As
the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on its
hind legs, put its front paws on the examination table and sniffed
the duck from top to bottom. Then it looked up at the vet with sad
eyes and shook its head.
A few minutes later, the vet returned with a cat. The cat jumped
onto the table and also delicately sniffed the duck from head to
foot. It sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly
and left the room.
The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said,
this is most definitely, 100% certifiably a dead duck."
Turning to his computer terminal, the doctor hit a few keys and
produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.
The duck's owner, still in shock, took it from him. "$150!" she
cried, "$150 just to tell me that my duck is dead?"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it,
the bill would have been $20. But now with the lab report and the
cat scan, it comes to $150!"

Career Development
THE DUMBING DOWN OF THE AMERICAN WORKER
- CONTINUED My May 2009 CD Column continued my series on THE DUMBING
DOWN OF THE AMERICAN WORKER. In my third column of this
series I made it clear that the EMPOWERING OF THE AMERICAN
WORKER was our responsibility. Learning should never stop. The
AMERICAN WORKER has allowed their dumbing down. It should
not and would not have happened, if they had taken responsibility
for their continuing education. Sure, Corporate America has not
lived up to its responsibilities, consuming American Labor and its
skills until they became obsolete. Finally, having invested little
into American Labor, American Industry was off to foreign lands
to find work forces with the education and skills needed for their
products and services, besides lower wages. This wholesale offshoring of manufacturing jobs was wrong then and it is wrong
now.
“Manufacturing is vital for a strong national economy, and the
U.S. public knows it!” according to Tim Domheil’s article in
Appliance July/August 2009 Magazine. So, if 71% of the U.S.
public feels manufacturing is a national priority, per the 2008
Public Viewpoint on Manufacturing Survey by Deloitte LLP, why
did Corporate America make another 793,000 manufacturing jobs
disappear in 2008? The travesty is that there has been and
continues to be a disconnect between the AMERICAN WORKER and
Corporate America. Today, Corporate America’s manufacturers
are struggling to find qualified employees with the knowledge and
skills to work with the new technologies. Just how did Corporate
America figure THE DUMBED DOWN AMERICAN WORKER had the
resources and time to learn the new skills and technologies now
demanded by Corporate America? Corporate America generally
did not invest in their training during their employment. Corporate
America eliminated their American jobs, sending the jobs
overseas. Working lower paying service jobs, often more than one
job to support themselves and their families, they incurred more
debt and continue to financially struggle just to survive. Yes, we
need more young American workers pursuing careers in
manufacturing. But, the message they got from seeing their
parents dumbed down and their jobs eliminated, has given them
reason to seek other career areas.
The U.S. has an uphill battle to regain its manufacturing base.
With billions of workers in China and billions in India, the
manufacturing advantages we once appreciated have gone. We
must get more young people entering manufacturing careers to
remain globally competitive. Training is a must if we are to be
successful. If Corporate America does not support continuing
education and cuts training expenses during good times, you know
they will not hesitate to take draconian measures during bad times.
Lately, we have seen only bad times. Corporate America has seen
to it that we are not prepared for the jobs they now want to bring
back. What goes around comes around. What happened to the
lesson learned decades ago, that industry must develop and use the
world’s best technology in order to succeed? Of course, you also
have to have the world’s best trained workers to use that
technology. I guess this is not taught at Harvard or Wharton?
7
Some earnest efforts have been underway to educate and train our
workers to handle what manufacturing jobs do come back to these
shores. The U.S. Manufacturing Institute, National Tooling &
Machining Association (NTMA), Precision Metalforming
Association (PMA) and the Precision Jobs for American
Manufacturing (PJAM) have been working on best practices for
specific regions, since no two regions are exactly alike. But, you
need to start early in a person’s career to get them interested in
manufacturing at an early age. Your IIESJDV Chapter has also
been working to support this effort. We are making a major
contribution through Engineer’s Week, Future Cities Competition
and Mathcounts. Another promising program is the new National
Robotics League (NRL), which evolved from the Bots IQ
Program. Your Chapter plans and delivers technical presentations
to keep you on top of the new processes, technologies and trends.
Your IIE plans and delivers countless conferences, seminars, and
workshops. Besides the professional organizations you know of,
there are hundreds more that deliver quality continuing education.
The problem has been that many workers do not belong to a
professional organization or society. And, if they do belong, they
do not participate in their organizations’ activities and programs.
Some think that you can justify not joining, or belonging or
participating, because their company does not pay for their
membership or attendance at conferences, seminars and
workshops. The typical worker is no different in this view, as they
think it is their company’s responsibility to pay for these expenses.
This could not be further from the truth. A company’s core
business is innovation. A workers core business is education and
skills. When a company does not invest in its workforce’s
education and training, the workers must take on that
responsibility.
Our current recession does not look like it will end any time soon.
As big and mighty as General Motors was, it failed to innovate
year after year. Making bigger cars, changing trim packages and
paint was not enough to make its automotive offerings sustainable.
In the end, the customer wanted quality and reliability. This is
analogous to a worker, working year after year, changing his
clothes and shoes, but not making their self more capable and
skilled through new learning. Now, the demand is sustainability.
Not only does the product have to have quality and be reliable, it
now needs to be sustainable. Workers are no different. The only
way that a worker can sustain themselves is to continue their
education and training, with or without employer support.
Your next Career Quest© needs to be one in which one of your
requirements is for the prospective employer to have a policy
supporting continuing education, besides on-the-job training,
mentoring and tuition reimbursement. A reasonable 10% of your
time should be involved in some education and/or training activity
while at work. Those of you that already are in a position to
support continuing education, please do so proactively.
The IE is the “Change Agent” of the future! Make Your Career
Happen!
