Pink Slip Party Tonight – Jobs and Updates for 2/17/2011

Well, the continuing saga of LinkedIn.com’s suckage hasn’t stopped yet. They’re apparently “having some known issues” with the Jobs area in Groups which are periodically causing things like the “next page” function to load the members of the group instead of…the next page of jobs. Which is just so friggin’ convenient given our event tonight and, oh, I don’t know…the fact that people might be really anxious and looking for jobs right about now.

Brilliant. Thanks for those “upgrades”, LinkedIn! Love ’em more and more every day!

So, here’s what I’m going to suggest that you do in preparation for tonight’s Pink Slip Party event…

1. Take a look at the jobs listed below.

2. Take a look at our previous updates from the last two weeks or so, so that you can get up to speed on the job updates that were included in those. You’ll want to hit this link – http://www.ITinTheD.com/category/news/ and start scrolling through the last few updates. There have been a LOT of jobs posted in the past couple of weeks, so don’t miss any that you might want to talk with recruiters about tonight.

3. Pay attention to the LinkedIn group (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=91763) throughout the course of the day today, because who knows how many jobs will actually show up…and if they do, who knows how many LinkedIn will actually let you see. Isn’t that fun?

As far as the event itself goes, we’ll be at Snookers Pool & Pub in Utica, starts at 5:00, it’s free to attend for all, and for details on the event (address, google map, phone number if you get lost, etc.), check out:

The event listing on our site: http://www.ITinTheD.com/event/pink-slip-party-networking-for-the-metro-detroit-it-industry-job-seekers/

The event listing on LinkedIn: http://events.linkedin.com/ITintheD-org-PINK-SLIP-PARTY/pub/509674

You’ll also want to do yourself a favor and read our Pink Slip Party FAQs:http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/faq in order to get a better idea of what you’ll be walking into. There are some good answers in there about “the basics” – what to wear, what to bring, what to expect, etc. Seriously…read them. Just about every question that I’ve gotten via email in the last week was already answered in the FAQs. That’s why they’re FAQs, and that’s why we tried to save some time for you and ourselves by answering them there.

Okay. So keep those links above in mind (particularly for past jobs given LinkedIn’s current problems) and then here are some more that have come in over the past 24 hours:
