ITintheD.org Pink Slip Party Next Week! Updates and Jobs for October 14, 2010

Yep, we’re just a week away from our next Pink Slip Party at the Post Bar in Novi.  As always, it’s a 5pm start time, and we’re really looking forward to seeing everyone there!  As you know (or should), October is usually the last big “push” before the end of the year to get people in new slots before budgets expire, end of year hiring freezes hit, etc., and so this is our last PSP event for 2010.

So, no excuses.  If you’re in or around the IT industry and in or around the metro Detroit area…the time is now.  Whether you’re a job seeker or someone looking to hire or even just someone looking to expand your professional network with some great connections, next Thursday night is your best chance to meet and get to know some of the best people in the IT industry here in town.

For details…

Event listing on our site: http://www.ITinTheD.com/event/ITintheD-org-pink-slip-party-networking-for-it-professionals-and-job-seekers-in-metro-detroit/

…and if this is your first time coming to one of our Pink Slip Party events, please make sure you read the FAQs: http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/faq

…and if you’re a recruiter that hasn’t already let us know that you’re coming, please do so no later than tomorrow by dropping us a note at contact@ITinTheD.com.  As always, there aren’t any charges or anything…we just like to make sure that we know who’s coming, as well as having a badge printed up and waiting for you when you get there to keep things running smoothly.

Job seekers can use that same email address to get their resumes out to the recruiters that have told us that they’ll be there as well.

Additionally, the Pink Fund (http://www.thepinkfund.org) will be on hand.  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 all drinks sold that night 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 that night.  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!

Plus…there are rumors floating around…some of you may remember that Rima Fakih, the former Miss Michigan and now Miss USA attended our event in January on behalf of the Pink Fund in order to help out…and it just may be that the current Miss Michigan, Channing Pierce, will be in attendance next Thursday as well.  Maybe.  Perhaps.  Anything’s possible…

And have you checked out the latest Don’t Be That Guy blog entry yet?  Don’t Be That Guy: The LinkedIn Prostitution Ring.  I was actually stunned that this even existed.  http://www.ITinTheD.com/1011/the-linkedin-prostitution-ring/

Now, about this week’s job listings…and did you know that sometimes we blast out jobs on Twitter?  Yes, we’re on Twitter.  Well, Jeff’s on Twitter on our behalf, and we still mock him for it, but we have to admit that it comes in handy from time to time, so you might want to check out the details down below as well.
