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.)

« 100 Jobseekers Turn Out for Latest Pink Slip Party | Main | Pink Slip Party III to be held September 2 at Office This »

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!
