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.)

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.

If you have questions, send an email to Dave Mace at maverick@letmaverick.com.

A lot of specialists tell that business loans help a lot of people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy needed stuff. Furthermore, different banks present sba loan for young and old people.
