JACKSONVILLE, FL — Did you know that in today’s job market many local employment openings never make it to the web and go unadvertised? In fact, today’s jobs are being discovered through social networking both in person and online.

The Pink Slip Tour, sponsored by Virgin Mobile, is a jobs tour presented byJobsDirectUSA to connect career professionals with hiring companies across multiple U.S. cities.

From June 24th through July 22nd JobsDirectUSA will be hosting these unique ‘pink slip mixers’ in the following cities: Jacksonville (6/24) Miami (7/29) Orlando (7/1) Atlanta (7/8) Minneapolis (7/13) and Detroit (7/22) 

If you’ve never attended a Pink Slip Party before, the way it works is simple; Job Seekers and Recruiters network one on one from 2 to 5 minutes at a time – think of the concept “speed dating for jobs”.

This is the most fun, casual and laid-back job interview experience around and an alternative to traditional boardroom interviews or job fairs.

In each city, JobsDirectUSA will be rolling out the pink carpet for local job seekers. Miami’s own Entertainment Correspondent Kelly Blanco, also known as the ‘Pink Carpet Hostess’, will be interviewing guests throughout the evening as they mix and mingle for jobs or prospective job candidates.
