PDXWIT Get Hired Up: The networking event that comes to you! ASL interpreters will be onsite.
Are you ready to get hired up?! Then this in-person event is for you. PDXWIT has teamed up with Autodesk for an in-person (!) event focused on connecting job seekers with open roles. Recruiters, hiring managers, and internal community leaders will be onsite to connect about open positions at the company.
We’ll get you fired up with a short presentation from PDXWIT and the Autodesk team. Then we invite you to mingle on the 6th floor of the beautiful Autodesk building in inner southeast Portland. You’ll have a chance to chat with recruiters and hiring managers while enjoying snacks, dessert, and drinks with a 360 view of our city.
Please have your resume ready to send and your LinkedIn profiles up to date!
In order to create a productive and thoughtful space, we are limiting capacity to the first 125 attendees.
Please reach out to hello@pdxwit.org with any additional accessibility needs you have.
