Happy Monday Morning Readers I hope you all had a great weekend, I know I did. Well in my weekend of reading and catching up I read on the new way to network for people who have been laid off. They call them Pink Slip Parties. It’s where unemployed professionals and sympathizers, recruiting firms, and direct hire companies all meet and network people have made contact as well as been hired for new jobs to make it thru in this uneasy job market. The Pink Slip Party Phenomenon has exploded in cities like Chicago, Seattle, New York, Denver, Philadelphia and DC. They started on Wall Street for people who was let go from struggling firms and the word spread. So when you attend one of these parties they give you a color coded bracelet at the door which identifies you as a job seeker, recruiter, or admissions rep. The people who organize these events are saying that the number of job seekers has grown, but they have seen a lot of success. So this is the new craze. I applaud people for being creative in this time where conventional ways are not working. I wish every one who attends these parties the best of luck.
