PinkSlipMixers is YOUR community. Invite companies you want to work for!

Edwin

PinkSlipMixers is like no other job search community in the country.  First and foremost, we are community-originated, community-supported, and members inspired.  Our events and website are unique in the sense that our members are offering their resources to other members.  Its about Paying It Forward.  Unlike other ‘pink slip party’ events across the nation, our events are FREE!

At our events, you will notice that our guests will come up to you and say “What do you do and who in my network can help you?”.  No other national organization does that for job seekers.

Now with the economy getting more challenging, we need to add a new dimension to our events.  We need for you as community members to tell hiring companies and recruiters to come to our event.  We need for you to call the companies that you want to work for and invite them to attend.  This will be a great way for you to get into the door of a company.  If you are sending blind resumes and they are not working, take a more proactive approach.  Please contact companies you are interested in working at and have them call me or one of the local organizers below. 

If you want to be a local organizer in your area, please contact me.

Remember to tell your friends about PinkSlipMixers.com!

14.8 Million Americans In Economic Depression, Despite Government Statistics

By Edwin Duterte

Palo Alto, CA - February 7, 2010 - The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday the national unemployment rate decreased from 10% to 9.7%. Although economic staffs to President Obama and members of the US Congress feel this is an improvement to the current recession, over 14 million Americans disagree and are dealing with their own individual Economic Depression.

PinkSlipMixers.com, a volunteer-based community-supported organization to help professionals find work, believes that American workers are tired of listening to political rhetoric about job creation. Edwin Duterte of PinkSlipMixers says, "Elected officials have good intentions to improve the quality of jobs in America. However, job creation is achieved on a local community level. Although there is an overall national employment improvement, the fact remains that over 14.8 million US workers are in their own personal economic depression."

The organizers of PinkSlipMixers recommends that out of work Americans should remain positive and work smarter to find work. "Job seekers should not only use traditional resources and new online social media techniques to find work; they should also engage professional services, such as online sites like UpMo.com, to manage their career even beyond the current recession."

In the month of February, PinkSlipMixers.com will host a series of job search networking events throughout California (February 18th in Fremont, February 22 in Pleasanton, February 23 in Palo Alto and February 24 in Pasadena). The attendees are primarily mid- to upper- level professionals who are looking for work. We also invite local hiring companies and small businesses. Industries that will be represented include, but not limited to, Healthcare, Real Estate, Banking, Insurance, Engineering, Entertainment, Manufacturing and Academia. We are expecting over 150+ job seekers and dozens of hiring companies in attendance for each event.

Representatives from PinkSlipMixers, Job Seekers and Hiring Managers will be available for comment to the media before, during and after each mixer.

Details of the job networking events are listed at http://PinkSlipMixers.com.
