ITintheD.org Pink Slip Party Tonight! Updates and Jobs for October 21, 2010

That’s right, it’s time for another often imitated but never duplicated ITintheD.com Pink Slip Party tonight!  Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Post Bar in Novi tonight starting at 5pm.  We have a lot of new recruiters, hiring managers and HR department folks that have told us they’re coming tonight, so make sure you check out the Pink Slip Party FAQs (http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/faq/) and get yourself there.  For details like the address, etc., check out…

The event listing on LinkedIn.com: http://events.linkedin.com/ITintheD-org-Pink-Slip-Party/pub/389690

The event listing on Detnews.com: http://events.detnews.com/novi-mi/events/show/145788245-ITintheDorg-pink-slip-party-networking-for-it-professionals-and-job-seekers-in-metro-detroit

Since we always wind up seeing a lot of new faces at these Pink Slip Party events in particular, this is always a good time to reference some of our earlier Don’t Be That Guy entries so that you know what you’re getting into:

I Can’t Make It To the Event, But Can You Still Forward My Resumehttp://www.ITinTheD.com/797/i-cant-make-it-to-the-event-but-can-you-please-forward-my-resume-guy/ We are not a resume blasting service.  You should already know this from our FAQs…which you’ve already read, right?

Multi Level Marketing Guy: http://www.ITinTheD.com/935/multi-level-marketing-guy/ Why we don’t allow them at our events.  Ever.

Bad Resume Guy: http://www.ITinTheD.com/101/bad-resume-guy/ Even though we discourage bringing stacks of resumes to our event (again – FAQs.  You’ve read them, right?  Right?  Good.), you should still know if yours sucks before you follow up in the coming days with those recruiters that you’ll meet tonight.

The Ten Commandments of Networking: http://www.ITinTheD.com/68/the-ten-commandments-of-networking/ This covers “the basics”.

Lessons From A Child’s Toy: http://www.ITinTheD.com/30/lessons-from-a-childs-toy/ Be who you are.

Through The Looking Glass: http://www.ITinTheD.com/887/through-the-looking-glass/ Our primer on why job fairs suck, and why we don’t do them or support them.

…and it does make us laugh that even groups that organize job fairs are starting to recognize that job fairs suck.  They’re starting to promote their same old events as “networking events” now, or renaming “lunch break” as “networking time” to try and suck you in.  Whatever.  Those of you who have been around the block with us a few times now and have read our previous entries know what they are: they’re chameleons (http://www.ITinTheD.com/217/crazy-daves-house-of-deals/) looking for their next insect to munch on.  So…I guess our advice is “don’t be that fly” this time.  Ha ha, I kill me…

Yeah, I know – “shut up, funny boy…and get to the jobs already”.

We’re almost there, I promise.

Don’t forget that the Pink Fund (http://www.thepinkfund.org) will be on hand tonight.  Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, we’ve partnered up with them yet again to help raise funds that stay local and help local victims of breast cancer.  A portion of the proceeds from drinks sold tonight will be donated (huge thanks to Darrel and the rest of the Post Bar family!) to the Pink Fund…and even with that in mind, there are still going to be some ridiculously cheap drink specials going on.  Hard Luck Candy vodkas, Three Olives vodkas, Corona, half price appetizers, and a special Pink Fund Martini…all great specials and low prices.  Plus, the Pink Fund is a 501c3 organization, so if you’re feeling generous and want to make a donation directly (and you can!), it’s tax deductible!

Okay, okay…jobs.

There are a lot out there in our LinkedIn group right now.  And you are in our LinkedIn group right?  You’re going to want to check in there throughout the day today as new positions get posted (it happens every Thursday after one of these emails goes out) so that you can check them out as they go live and work on your “who to make sure I find tonight” list.
