Is it just me, or does it seem like a really long time since our January event at the BlackFinn happened? Maybe it’s just that whole “the older you get, the faster time goes by” thing that my grandparents always warned me about…
Anyway, we’ve got our next event next Thursday night, the 16th, out at Rochester Mills in Rochester Hills.
We’ve had a few blog entries go live as well, including a couple Don’t Be That Guy entries as well as a new How Not To Suck about LinkedIn.
And of course, the usual fun and excitement taking place in our LinkedIn group, including chats, jobs, Jeff and I plotting to get Bob dressed up like Barf from Spaceballs this Friday night…
Ha! I knew that last part would get you to keep reading. Suckers.
As always though – first thing’s first. Our next event.
Thursday, February 16th. 5:01pm. Rochester Mills Brewery in Rochester Hills. Details can be found here on our site at http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/ or over on LinkedIn at http://linkd.in/soDfC9
New venue, new cit…wait, no, not a new city. We did Penny Black before. Well, still a new venue.
As always, looking forward to seeing you there!
And yes, this Friday night, Jeff and I will be attempting to get Bob drunk enough to dress up like Barf from Spaceballs as we head to Star Wars night at the Palace. It’s a Pistons game…and you know how well they’re doing this year…so, yeah, “good seats still available!” if you’re interested. No, this isn’t a “ITinTheD.org” thing…this is a “Dave heard it was Star Wars night, immediately called Bob and Jeff to announce that there was no option but to go” thing. I guess there will be people wandering around in costumes, a halftime show put on by Lucasfilm, limited edition posters…so, yeah, it’s a geek thing. So, we’re aiming to get Bob dressed up as Barf…or perhaps the “Chris from Family Guy” version of a stormtrooper. It pretty much depends wholly on how early we can get him to start drinking, I’m sure.
Wait…actually, it’s Bob, Dave and Jeff getting together for beers and geeking…so I guess it kind of is a ITinTheD.org thing after all, since that’s pretty much how we started.
Speaking of “ITinTheD.org thing”…our thing has always been our blog, and we’ve got some new entries for you to read.
In case you missed last week’s update, you can still catch Don’t Be That Guy – The Angry Birds Edition out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/3017/dont-be-that-guy-the-angry-birds-edition/, and You Are Not A Social Media Expert over at http://www.ITinTheD.com/3035/you-are-not-a-social-media-expert/
Both of those have fairly self-explanatory titles.
Then this past week we’ve put out what will likely be “part one” of How Not To Suck At LinkedIn at http://www.ITinTheD.com/2684/how-not-to-suck-at-linkedin/, and then our latest Don’t Be That Guy entry – The Fallen Angel is live out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/3061/the-fallen-angel/
So now let’s talk about LinkedIn. As always, our group can be found at http://www.linkedin.com/groups/ITintheDorg-Detroit-Networking-Events-IT-91763
Right now, we’ve got discussions going on about the aforementioned basketball game, the obligatory discussion about Sunday’s game and commercials, ways to do better on interviews, and all sorts of other fun topics. So, if you’re not already doing so, hop on in there and get to chatting.
And jobs. Oh, are there jobs to be had. If you’re a .Net or Java developer who’s out of work right now…there has to be something wrong. Seriously. Not only those, but we’ve got people hunting PhP developers like there’s a key to the city waiting for them when they find one, along with tech support (hey, you people that are always complaining that only mid to senior career level positions wind up in our group – yes, YOU – you reading?), systems administrators, basically everything all the way up to and including director level positions folks. If you’re on the hunt, or even casually looking…you may deserve to get a papercut to your eyeball if you’re not looking in our LinkedIn group.
Here’s a bit of what’s out there at the moment:
