Is there any advantage to purchasing a ASIS (American Society for Industrial Security) membership? Security professionals only please?

1stSgt (Join to see) I work with many security professionals. I do not know a single one who joined ASIS. Much like Linkdin, it is no where near as good as the hype would have you believe. A good resume that you update for EVERY position that you apply for, coupled with effective networking will get you in the door. A good work effort (I know you have it based on your success in the USMC) will get your new career moving well. I have found that when I work with lifelong civilians, they can't keep up with me when I half step (let alone the fact that I refuse to give less than 100%). Trust your skills and you will go far!

1stSgt Jim Senn, any way you'd be willing to share your secret decoder ring and spell out what "ASIS" means :)?

Thank you! I work in Telecom and Enterprise Cloud based solutions. And, I'm pretty sure some of the acronyms are made up just to see if people are paying attention.

Is anyone familiar with the certifications from IFPO(Int'l Foundation for Protection Officers)? Namely the CPO (Certified Protection Officer) programs or Security Supervision and Management Program.
