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.)

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.

Stay tuned to http://ictpinkslipparty.com or join the facebook or LinkedIn groups called ICT Pink Slip Party to stay in the loop on when and where we will hold the next party. (Use the links at the bottom of the page, far left.)

Until then, keep the faith!
