Casual Networking Event for Metro Detroit Information Technology Professionals Tonight: Updates for 1/17/2013

I CAN BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE!

I know, like you care.  But that’s huge news in my world, I assure you.

So we’ve got our first casual networking event for metro Detroit information technology professionals taking place tonight at Como’s in Ferndale.  That’s also huge news, because I don’t know about you, but I’m seriously ready for a few beers.

In the meantime though, we’ve got a few blog entries for you, some fun discussions in our LinkedIn group, and IT in The D creeps closer and closer.

Here we go…

2012-11-15_18-04-23_483So we’re kicking off 2013 in fun and fabulous downtown Ferndale tonight.  Thursday, January 17th.  The usual 5:01pm start time.  Ferndale.  Como’s.  The upstairs private event room.  Which has a private bar.

Excellent.

Details like the address, etc., are available on our site: https://itinthed.com/event/january-casual-networking-social-2/, out on Meetup: http://meetup.itinthed.com, and out on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ITintheD.

Got your IT in The D tickets yet?  We’re just about ready to publish our schedule of events (finally, we know) and get those last details out there for you shortly.

On the blog front, we’ve got Inspirational Quote Guy, Distracted Guy, and the newly published and oh so much fun Pants On Fire Guy that you should check out.

In our LinkedIn group, we’ve got some fun discussions going on:

– Guy gets job, outsources his own job, is thought to be brilliant at his job, gets caught…and somehow doesn’t wind up a CEO: http://lnkd.in/CU8kSf

– Curious as to what the top 25 oddball questions during interviews might be?  Here they are: http://lnkd.in/qyfvwB

– Why are Navy SEALs disclosing things to game companies? And is there any value to releasing bin Laden’s death photos? Chime in: http://lnkd.in/QtWGBr

On the jobs front, there are over 70 posted in the group right now at http://www.linkedin.com/groups?careerDiscussion=&gid=91763

Front end developers, back end coders, SQL developers, entry level help desk gigs…pretty much any kind of gig you’re looking for, they’re in there.
