End Joblessness – A mini job fair at Beer and Blog Portland

Back in December it was suggested that we should do a mini job fair to help out the local scene during this down economy. So, we’re organizing End Joblessness to give potential employers and job seekers a chance to come together (over beers of course). We’ll be meeting at OTBC on Saturday, January 24th from 12:00-3:00pm.

End Joblessness at OTBC

Saturday, January 24th from 12:00-3:00pm

Job Fair Agenda

12:00-1:00pm will be mingling and a beer;
1:00-2:00pm employers will get 2 minutes to share their jobs, contracts, and opportunities with the group;
2:00-3:00pm work seekers chat with employers to explore working together

Help us get the word out!

Most of the people we’re hoping to reach are either to far outside of our social circles or are offline completely. We could use your help in letting people know about this free job fair. We’re looking for people offering jobs, contracts, and opportunities; as well as those in need of such things.

Tell someone in real life using your voice. Crazy, huh?

Why is this free?

Because we’re a community, and if we can’t help ourselves, then not even Obama can.

I just stumbled across this event through the blog, Around the Sun. I am a high school language arts teacher looking for a summer gig. Is this a good match for me?
