If you're out of work, chances are you've had all kinds of time to hone your job-seeking skills.

But guess what? It doesn't do any good if there aren't any jobs.

So think about creating an opportunity for yourself by starting your own business.

What is a pink slip party?

A pink slip party is a place where recently displaced workers can come to:

  • Mingle with other laid-off professionals
  • Learn about self-employment opportunities or YOBs (your own business)
  • Meet recruiters
  • Exchange tips and war stories
  • Start a new professional stage

 

The parties have seen great success in places like New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Kansas City.

Sometimes there is a fee. Other times, the party is free of charge. (Ours is free, but you can buy drinks at the bar.)

Who's Invited

 

-Job Seekers

-Budding Entrepreneurs

-Entrepreneurs

-Active Job Seekers

-Passive Job Seekers

-You are…so come alone or bring a friend… we want to meet you!
