Portland Employment Workshop June 6, 2009

We are holding an informal employment workshop with the outcome to help each of you you rapidly acquire info, skills, strategies, or an overall approach that will help you be more successful in meeting your immediate and longterm employment goals.

Format-- an informal 2-hour task-based workshop, perhaps next Saturday 6/6 from10 am-12 pm, to thinktank jobhunting strategies and help each of you to formulate an aggressive search approach so you can get some opportunities lined up, depending on your current employment status and what you're looking for.

Advice for either seeking a quality job or helping several guys trying to make a go of starting a company
