Everyone ready for a nice long weekend? I know I am. Even though it’s going to be a long weekend of working in the yard (because I’m finally getting a yard put in at the new house!), it’s still going to be some nice downtime. Hope that everyone out there gets a chance to kick back, relax, do some grilling, drink a few drinks and generally enjoy themselves. Raise a glass, salute the flag, and try not to blow yourself up with those fireworks your buddy’s bringing back from that run into a neighboring state he’s making on Saturday. Remember that people have died over the past several hundred years to give you the opportunity to blow yourself up while drunk standing around a bonfire this weekend.
But enough with the “heavy” stuff…let’s go ahead and dive into our upcoming events, some news, and hey, let’s go ahead and try to help someone out again since we got some great feedback about the last time around…
July’s event will take place on Thursday the 21st, and will be back at the familiar stomping grounds of the back room at the BlackFinn in Royal Oak. As always, you can find the particulars out on our Events page at http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/ or on LinkedIn at http://events.linkedin.com/ITintheD-org-July-Happy-Hour/pub/675394.
August 18th is the date for our first event out at Penny Black in Rochester. As with July’s event, you can find the details on our Events page http://www.ITinTheD.com/meet/ or out on LinkedIn at http://events.linkedin.com/ITintheD-org-August-Happy-Hour/pub/707335
We’re wrapping up the details for our next Pink Slip Party as well…because, well, I’m getting nagged about when it’s going to happen at least every other day by various people.
We’ve got Don’t Be That Guy – Mister Magoo out there about the importance of relationships, as well as Networking Basics – Some Q&A With An Old Friend that, well, answers some high level questions about networking that an old friend from high school had for me out at http://www.ITinTheD.com/1986/networking-basics-some-qa-with-an-old-friend/. There’s some good information in there from “the basics” perspective that you should check out.
Got some good feedback on last week’s updates about “featuring” someone from the group, and so we’ll go ahead and continue that this time around. Last week we put Ray Braun out there as a job seeker…this time let’s take a look at someone on the other side of the fence.
Steve Gaura from Arrow Strategies has been coming to our events basically since we brought ITintheD.com back. He and Arrow have hired people from our events, they’ve really been a part of helping us grow the group and keep things positive and running in the right direction, and we’ve had some great conversations that have helped tweak things along the way. They were there for our very first Pink Slip Party, and they’ve been there for all of them since then, too. They are always looking to hire people of all sorts – Project Managers, developers of all flavors, database folks…you name it, they’re looking for it. So if I were you, and you’re looking for new opportunities…you should reach out and make contact with Arrow. You can drop them a line at detroit@arrowstrategies.com, or give them a call at 248.502.2500. Or show up at our events and talk with Steve, Melisa, Matt, or any of the rest of the gang that shows up to chat with people.
(…and if that reads too much like an ad…feel free to tell me so. it’s not meant to be…just like last time with Ray, neither Steve nor anyone else from Arrow know I’m putting this out here…it’s not like they gave me copy to run or anything…just still playing around with the idea…)
Speaking of jobs, here’s a sample of what’s out there currently in our LinkedIn group…
