This group is run in conjunction with NYC Job Seekers! (Founded December 23, 2016).
Austin Job Seekers is for those ambitious go getter types who are seeking to improve their application skills and land the job of their dreams. This is not a job networking group – but an educational group that is actively focused on improving the strategy of job seekers to help them step up their game!
Any of the following may characterize you:
• You are looking to quit your job for something better this year
• You are looking for a promotion in your current job
• You are graduating college and need help finding a new job
• You were laid off or let go for whatever reason and need to find employment
• You need to apply to business school.
Members who are involved will…
• Gain better resume writing skills
• Write better cover letters
• Be able to use social media to their advantage in job searches
• Be more strategic about how they apply to positions.
Come join us!
This group is for new & veteran DJs to socialize, network, and learn from each other. We’ll make time for presentations and workshops, socializing, and of course, playing some tunes. Whether you’ve been spinning vinyl for decades or just bought your first digital DJ controller, this group of music lovers is the place for you!
This meetup is for anyone interested in using the intersection of psychology and technology to make a positive impact on people’s lives, work, community and the world.
Our goal will be to explore, discuss and push forward the cutting edge in behavior design, persuasive technology, behavioral economics, choice architecture, emotional design, cognitive design, positive psychology and other related topics.
Check out our meetup page to view our meetup methods and more about our founder, Robin Krieglstein.
See you at 6:30PM!
This is a group for Product Managers relatively new to their careers with five years or less experience in a product management role. The meetings will be focused on a particular topic suggested by the group and we typically will spend part of the time focused on training/discussion activities with the remaining time spent on networking.
The goal is to provide a safe, but open environment for more junior product managers to address the challenges they face and get advice from their peers, as well as establish a peer network in the Austin area to tap into for advice and career opportunities.
If you are a more senior product manager who would like to play a mentorship role for the group, please reach out as well!
