IT In The D – Episode 58: Pink Slip Party Info, Arrow Strategies, Stuff Around Detroit and More

IT in the D, Episode 58, chock full of information for you. We lost one of our guests due to a bacterial infection (no, we weren't involved with that, I swear), but we were joined in studio by Steve from Arrow Strategies and one of our other usual partners in crime. We talked the Pink Slip Party this Thursday at the Majestic, stuff going on around downtown, what Arrow will be looking for on Thursday night and more... In our first segment, we talked Pink Slip Party primarily, but also some of the news and stories that have caught our eye over the last week.  You can catch up on everything you need to know here: https://itinthed.com/15739/pink-slip-party-thursday-2014/ Segment two continued on that way with more random discussions of news and events around the web. Our third segment dove in with Steve from Arrow Strategies, specifically all about Pink Slip Party events from a recruiter's point of view - common mistakes people make, what to expect, the importance of follow up and follow through and more. In our fourth segment, we doubled back on some topics we missed earlier, and closed things out for the night.
