That’s right, it’s that time – our first metro Detroit networking event of 2011 takes place tomorrow night – Thursday, January 13th – at the BlackFinn in Royal Oak at 5pm.
Of course, the way LinkedIn’s mail servers have been running lately, by the time you get this it may have been last night, or three nights ago…so let’s hope this reaches you in a timely manner, because we’d like to see you there!
Everything that we’re hearing and seeing says that 2011 is jumping to a quick start…which is good news for everyone in the metro Detroit IT industry. Companies are looking to get out ahead of the curve and get a jump on hiring as budgets are freeing up and we may slowly, but surely, be seeing the beginning of a turnaround. Interview cycles are shrinking, while salaries and bill rates are starting to (slowly) climb again. So, now’s a really good time to be building those networking connections…and what better way to do that than by attending an event that’s filled with some of the best and brightest folks in the metro Detroit IT industry?
For details on the event, please check out…

These casual events are designed to be just that – casual. They’re setup to help you meet other folks in the IT industry, whether you’re looking to meet other people that have the same sort of job you already have in order to compare notes and find solutions, find a mentor, meet recruiters, or, yes, even hire someone…these events have always been geared towards basic networking 101. Make connections. Expand your network. We’ve all heard the phrase “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”…and you can’t get to know someone if you don’t first meet them. As always, it’s completely free of charge to attend, so make it a point to come out and say “hi”, and if nothing else, find one of the three of us to start a conversation with and we’ll try to help in any way we can to get you rolling in the right direction.
We always encourage reading our Don’t Be That Guy blog entries out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/category/dbtg/, in order to help get a gauge on our group’s tone and feel. There are two recent additions to the mix:
Don’t Be That Guy: The Bullshit Generator out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/1163/dont-be-that-guy-the-bullshit-generator/
Don’t Be That Guy: Overblown Sense of Entitlement Guy at http://www.ITinTheD.com/1126/dont-be-that-guy-overblown-sense-of-entitlement-guy/
There are dozens of entries out there though, with everything from resume advice to hints on effective networking…so click around the Don’t Be That Guy blogs and file away a few items that can help you later on.
Now…jobs. As mentioned earlier, things are really starting to pick up. So if you’re in the market, make sure you’re hitting the LinkedIn group on a regular basis to check the jobs board! Here’s a sampling of what’s come in since our last email out…
