Updates and Jobs

Hey there – yep, it’s that time of the week again: the weekly update from your friendly neighborhood ITintheD.com guys.  News, updates, jobs, and at least one item on which we really need your input so that you can help us make some decisions.  Our next event is just a week away at the BlackFinn in Royal Oak on Thursday the 19th…and it’s about our events that we need some feedback.  We’ve always tried to let the group evolve organically into whatever seems to be the direction people want it to go, and we’ve got a situation that you can help us figure out what our next steps should be…

We’ve got a lot going on these days.  I’ve always joked that I never really had any intention of putting “Event Planner” on my resume, but I’ve got to tell you…it’s not that far off.  There have always been requests from job seekers in different metro Detroit areas (and beyond…) that want us to come do one of our events at their local neighborhood bar, or at least somewhere that would give them a shorter drive time…and things are starting to come together where it looks like that might happen.  Yes, we might just break out of our collective shell a little bit and move outside of Royal Oak and Novi.  The big question is…where?  We’ve had people ask us to head out to Troy, Auburn Hills, Brighton, Pontiac, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, and even as far out as Lansing and Grand Rapids…and the time has come to take a serious look at making something happen.  With that in mind, please take a quick moment to vote for one of several locations that we’re seriously considering by going here: http://www.ITinTheD.com/828/tell-ITintheD-org-where-to-go/

Now, just to get this out in the open – we don’t know when these events will happen just yet.  We also don’t know if we’ll do one of our smaller, more casual events or a Pink Slip Party in a new location.  We’re just starting to work out the logistics of doing this…so, hang in there.

The other wild card is “when”?  We’ve already nailed down details on three upcoming events, the first of which is only a week away:

Thursday, August 19th: BlackFinn, Royal Oak.  One of our smaller, more casual events.  Details can be found on LinkedIn http://events.linkedin.com/August-ITintheD-org-Social-Happy-Hour/pub/373541 or on our site: http://www.ITinTheD.com/792/august-happy-hour/

Thursday, September 16th: BlackFinn, Royal Oak.  Another smaller, more casual event.  Details are on LinkedIn: http://events.linkedin.com/September-ITintheD-org-Social-Happy/pub/373548 and on our site at http://www.ITinTheD.com/813/september-happy-hour/

Thursday, October 21st: Post Bar, Novi.  Our next Pink Slip Party event.  Details are on LinkedIn: http://events.linkedin.com/ITintheD-org-Pink-Slip-Party/pub/389690 and on our site at http://www.ITinTheD.com/835/ITintheD-org-pink-slip-party-networking-for-it-professionals-and-job-seekers-in-metro-detroit/

Wherever we wind up going, rest assured that we’ll be staying true to our core focus, and we hope that this will help not only some of the familiar faces from our events in the past, but also open the doors to helping out some new job seekers and recruiters make things happen.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s dive in to why you tolerate these weekly emails from us – jobs.

As always, make sure you’re hitting that Jobs tab in our LinkedIn group on a regular basis to catch jobs as they get posted.  You can get there by clicking here: http://www.linkedin.com/groupAnswers?searchQuestions=&gid=91763&answerCategory=mra&forumID=5&trk=anet_ug_jobs, or just by hopping into the LinkedIn group and hitting “Jobs” up in the group’s navigation bar.

Remember, we tend to get more postings after one of these goes out, so make sure you stop by and hit the group throughout the day to catch those new job listings rather than waiting for next week to roll around.
