Navigating Opportunities: Your Aerospace Network In the dynamic aerospace sector, connections drive careers. As a contract professional, you understand that a resilient network is not just helpful—it's your lifeline to new ventures and industry advancement. So, how do you keep that critical network robust? Here are some strategies: Firstly, leverage trade shows and conferences, which are goldmines for connectors. Go beyond just attending; engage actively. Participate in panels, volunteer, or even present a paper. These actions put you at the center of conversations and mark you as a thought leader in your domain. Next, don't let digital dust settle on your LinkedIn profile. Update regularly with project milestones or commentary on industry trends. Your colleagues need to see your achievements and your insights as part of the dialogue that shapes the future of aerospace. Remember also, mentorship is a two-way street. By becoming a mentor, you gain as much perspective as you give guidance, cementing bonds with professionals at various career stages. Conversely, seek out mentors who offer experience and broad networks, potentially opening doors to your next big contract. Slide into thought-curated forums. Don't gloss over the importance of industry-specific online communities and forums. These are not only for troubleshooting but for idea exchanges, which often lead to collaboration and partnerships. And lastly, keep your follow-up game strong. Whether after a meeting, email exchange, or casual LinkedIn interaction, a personalized follow-up can transform a handshake into a lasting professional relationship. Cultivating a rich aerospace network takes intentional effort. Start with these strategies and watch your professional ties ascend to new heights. #AerospaceNetworking #ContractStrategy #ProfessionalGrowth

As recession fears decreased throughout 2023, staffing has continued to decline. However, recent data found the possible root behind this stagnation. The explanation?  Industrial staffing is heavily impacted by the decline in manufacturing as transportation, warehousing, and logistics activities continue to decrease.  But with these results, the workforce can move forward and provide new and expanded opportunities for industrial staffing.

The cool thing about specializing in specialty materials, materials converting, and polymer related manufacturing markets is that I can see the entire supply chain of manufacturing. When we on-board a new employee to our company, we show them where we have specialized for about 40 years. Specialty polymers make up a lot consumer products, of what we use today, but the more functionality & scarcity a specialty polymer has, the more costly it is. It all starts with the Chemicals industry.... chemicals (monomers) are made into polymers at chemical manufacturing facilities through a variety of polymerization, synthesis or polymer manufacturing processes. Once it's a polymer, the product can be further manufactured through other manufacturing processes like molding, extrusion (cast or blown plastic films), formulation (lab based polymers), or other polymer manufacturing processes. Many of these polymers end up being manufactured into roll goods or made into a custom products used in other specialty applications. The manufacturing world is diverse and abundant when it comes creative functions or use applications. The list is extensive but the good news is that our company plays in all of these sandboxes. We help a wide variety of manufacturing companies that use polymers and plastics such as manufacturers of: Tapes Adhesives, Coatings, Sealants Elastomers (CASE) Foams Rubbers & Silicones Films Flexible Packaging and the Converting (specialty materials converting and printing) The farther down the value chain we go with our clients, the more difficult / challenging it is to find a perfect fit for the open job orders we have. It's imperative to find the right fit for our clients because much of their business success depends on the people they hire to grow their company. The types of roles we fill include: -Executive Management (CEO , President, Vice President, Board) -Sales (all levels) -Marketing (Product Management & Marketing Management) -Engineering -Operations Managament (General Managers, Ops Manager, Plant Manager) -R&D / Chemistry / Product Development -support positions, ie: Supply Chain, Customer Service, Estimating, Human Resources, and Technical Service After doing this for 20+ years myself (and our company 40 years), we have utmost confidence in finding the right fit for "hard to fill" searches because of extensive experience &understanding of the marketplace. We work to understand what goals the company is really trying to accomplish in hiring for important open roles. If your company has a need to hire someone, whether in the US or Overseas, please feel free to reach out to discuss how we can help you grow now and in the future. Wishing you all the best & I hope you're enjoying your Summertime Cheers, Angelo Giallombardo angelo at centraljobs dot com www.centraljobs.com
