COME TO THE PINK SLIP PARTY AT CAREERQUEST 2012!

From 2 to 3 pm on January 17, 2012, the ICT Pink Slip Party Crew will host the latest in a series of events designed to inspire, lead, connect and inform Wichitans who have lost their jobs or are looking at new career options.

We've done seven of these events in the past three years, and they've created new positions for people, connected new business partners, brought start-up businesses together with customers, inspired new businesses and helped people think about their careers in new ways.

This latest ICT Pink Slip Party will be held from 2 to 3 pm at the CareerQuest Expo at the Marriott in Wichita (see directions at right). You can find details about the Expo at http://quantumexpo.com and more information about the Marriott is on the lower righthand part of this page.

You don't need to bring anything but business cards, resumes and an open mind willing to learn from your peers about how to take the next step in your career.

Browse around our site to learn more about pink slip parties and how they work.

100 Jobseekers Turn Out for Latest Pink Slip Party

  

Join Us for ICT Pink Slip Party IV at the Wichita Marriott (East)

In case you haven't heard, we've been hosting pink slip parties every few months to give displaced workers a chance to mingle with their fellow out-of-work professionals, meet recruiters, exchange ideas and even learn about how to start your own business.

Our latest ICT Pink Slip Party will be held at 2:00 pm January 19 at the Wichita Marriott, located at Kellogg and Webb.

We hope you will already be taking advantage of the opportunities at the CareerQuest Expo developed by Quantum Expositions International. If you come for the morning recruiting session, please plan to stay and join us at the party, where we'll have an informal roundtable discussion followed by networking. If you're planning to come to the evening recruiting session, we hope you can come a little early for the party.

We've been averaging about 100 to 150 people for our parties, and we've seen people make connections that lead to jobs and start new companies or careers as a result of coming to the ICT Pink Slip Party.

See you on the 19th!

Pink Slip Party III to be held September 2 at Office This

First, we'll start the night a bit earlier, opening the party at 4:30 pm. You can take advantage of workshops on resume building and interviewing. And, of course, we'll have plenty of time for networking.

As always, recruiters will be on hand, and our special twist is that you can also meet with network marketing professionals and business consultants about starting up your own thing.

Admission is free. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Cash bar.

Come ready to learn. Come ready to connect.

We look forward to seeing you September 2 at Office This.

More than 100 job seekers and resource providers hit ICT Pink Slip Party II

Congratulations to everyone who attended last night's ICT Pink Slip Party II at the Pumphouse. We hope you got home before the hail hit Old Town.

More than 100 people were at the second pink slip party, prizes were given away, and the networking was incredible. Someone walked away with a free seated massage from Val Kluge, another person won life coaching from Damon Isaacs, and several people took advantage of the Wichita Business Journal's offer of discounted subscriptions and a free Book of Lists. Phil Hayes from The Arnold Group presented one lucky winner with a free resume development package.

KAKE news was on hand recording the festivities and did a nice little piece on one of our success stories

Thanks again to the Pumphouse for hosting us. We're looking forward to coming back soon.
