Are you attending the pink slip party?

Submitted by Amit Puri on March 22, 2009 – 9:32 amOne Comment

A Pink Slip Party is a phenomenon that took off during the dot com crash several years ago and has enjoyed a revival given today’s challenging economic environment. Pink Slip Parties bring together hundreds of professional workers and their supporters. These gatherings offer great networking opportunities, connecting those who have been, or are about to be pink slipped with HR and recruiting professionals from companies looking for new talent.

Attending a Pink Slip Party is a smart move. You’ll have a great time, make some new friends and learn about new job opportunities before they ever hit Monster.com or CareerBuilder.com. You’ll be able to showcase your talents in a relaxed, friendly environment and trade tips with fellow job-seekers.

HeadHunt launched such an initiative to help people who have lost their jobs in Singapore. Details are provided below:
