Join us for Virtual Happy Hour hosted by Zapproved on August 18th!

It’s time to come together again… from the comfort of our homes. This month we are partnering with our friends at Zapproved to host a Happy Hour!

Nancy Perez, Site Reliability Engineer with Zapproved, will tell us more about the company as well as let us know about open positions within their organization.

The theme for this event is Combatting Virtual Fatigue and we will hear from lightning speakers Crystal Sincoff and Maria Grzanka on the topic.

We will also have a Virtual Job Seekers Lounge and Recruiter Roll Call, where attendees looking for career opportunities can connect in real time with recruiters who are hiring! Note that if you want to participate in this feature, we recommend joining PDXWIT slack. We will also have face to face networking at the end of the event for anyone who is interested in participating.

Agenda:
5:00 p.m. - Zoom Webinar Open/Virtual Networking
5:15 p.m. - Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers
5:30 p.m. - Recruiter Roll Call
5:45 p.m. - Virtual Job Seekers Section via Slack/Face-to-Face Networking in breakout rooms
6:30 p.m. - Event ends

Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.
