Monday Geek Night

Location:
Snow & Company
1815 Wyandotte St.
Kansas City, MO
Google Map

Time: 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm

We are returning to Snow & Company this week as they roll out a new – very geeky! – happy hour system. Join us to learn more about the new specials which are based on metrics that involve who’s ordering which drink and how many.

Bring a laptop, bring a friend or co-worker, and by all means bring whatever you’re working on. We all come from different development backgrounds but historically this group plays well together. We help solve challenges (code and otherwise) and often wander into the latest tech news conversations as well.

What is Monday Geek Night? It is a weekly Monday night gathering of geeks who enjoy topics including, but not limited to, application and web development (code of all kinds), entrepreneurship, gaming, marketing, design, movies, the current state of all things tech, and usually beer and other cocktails.

The Art of Interviewing Workshop

Location:
Central Resource Library
Carmack Community Room
9875 W. 87th St.
Overland Park, KS
Google Map

Time: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Free to attend.

Interviewing is not like riding a bike. Just because you’ve interviewed in the past, doesn’t mean you’ll do well at the next interview. Lack of practice oftentimes leads to a sub-par interview. In today’s highly competitive job market, the pool of eligible and highly qualified candidates applying for a job is at all-time highs. What separates those who land the job from the ones who only get a first interview are not only the skills one brings to the table, but more importantly, how effectively one communicates that he or she is THE best person for the job.

Join professional development consultant Efren Mojica, of “All About You Consulting,” as he educates on the entire interview process: pre-interview, interview and post-interview. The goal is to better enable attendees to take advantage of a precious interview opportunity and gain insight into the finer points of interviewing. Register online or call 913-826-4600.
