C4 Workspace and a bunch of others are hosting a Pink Slip Mixer on Thursday, September 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm to help connect under employed professionals with the companies and agencies who may have opportunities for them.
What’s a Pink Slip Mixer?
Pink Slip Mixers had their start when Wall Street got clobbered in the fall of 2008. Frankly, their soirees were more about drwoning their sorrows than connecting with the right people.
The Pink Slip Mixer is a non-threatening, social event. It is not a job fair. It is not for entry level people. The event is for for mid level, experienced professionals who have gotten the short end of the economy’s stick. And it’s for people in a position to hire the aforementioned professionals to meet and mingle with them outside a sterile interview or [shudder] The Job Fair.
We currently have 2 search firms lined up and are talking with two others as well as a few corporate HR departments.
The evening will start at 6 pm with sign in, name tag affixing, wrist banding and door prize ticket acquisition. It will run through 8 pm with breaks to give out door prizes. In between it’s all about talking with people. People looking for work and people looking for good employees and contractors. There will be snacks and refreshments throughout the evening. And attendees will have a chance to get a professional profile picture taken to flesh out their online profiles on sites like LinkedIn.

This Pink Slip event is right in line with our mission here at C4 Workspace. We’re all about a sustainable professional community. Sustainability starts at home with bringing home the bacon (or soy substitute). We know not everyone is cut out for running a solo business and not all solo’s are cut out to work in traditional office environment. But we all gotta cowork in some fashion. So Pink Slip brings together San Antonio’s professional community to work together and network. And that’s what C4 Workspace is all about.
