Free career workshops to train job seekers on social media, interviewing and networking skills plus the return of the “Pink-Slip Party” set to help South Floridians find jobs – fast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 9, 2010 -- HOLLYWOOD, FL – Professionals, both unemployed and looking to hire, in South Florida will have an opportunity to mix and mingle at the area’s first “Speed Dating for Jobs” pink-slip party of the New Year on Thursday February 18th inside 88’s Dueling Pianos at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

The free event is being organized by A Plus Professional Resumes and JobsDirectUSA to help stimulate hiring in the area by connecting local job seeking professionals with hiring companies.

What originally started on Wall Street after the stock market collapse, the job networking ‘party’, which Carlos Gil of JobsDirectUSA calls “Speed Dating for Jobs”, unites educated, mid-level job seekers looking for white collar jobs with recruiters of local hiring companies – in a bar or upscale lounge.

“Today unemployed workers are becoming more creative in finding new jobs and getting in front of hiring companies” says Violet Nikolici Lowery of A Plus Professional Resumes. “Less intimidating than standing in line in hopes of catching a busy recruiter’s attention at tables full of resume-wielding students and more powerful than a blind email, Speed Dating for Jobs is one way of landing a partner – that pays” AOL Jobs says about the new job hunt trend.

A Plus Professional Resumes and JobsDirectUSA will also be teaming up with the Hollywood Jaycee’s to host two free career workshops on February 16th at 8 am and another at 3 pm in Hollywood. The two-hour long workshops will provide job seekers with tips and advice on resume preparation, interview skills, training on social media and also teach seekers how to effectively network.

“The recession has changed the way that seekers look for employment in a competitive job market. Gone are the days of relying solely on emails, internet job search websites and local career fairs” Gil adds.
