Come "Jobnob" with cool new startups and other job seekers at this informal networking happy hour where unemployed people who want to keep their skills sharp are matched up with startups that could use their help. We're getting a lot of interest for Drupal developers, so please check it out.
Eager Job Seekers - are you willing to work at least 5 hours a week for free or minimal pay? Help out a startup and you'll get a leg up on the competition, keep your skills sharp and have some good experience to put on your resume. And when the giant gears of the economy start churning again, you could well be one of the first ones back on the payroll.
Cash Strapped Startups - are you willing to buy a smart, talented, unemployed person a drink? Come with one or two specific projects (they don't need to be Drupal specific) that you need accomplished and we'll help you find the perfect person to get the job done. And if you get funded you can always hire them!
You can read more about the upcoming Jobnob Happy Hour or the May event that had over 300 people attend.
