If you couldn't make it to the April PinkSlips event, you have a second chance! Carolyn Elefant, author of Solo By Choice and the blog, MyShingle, and I are teaming up again in June 2009 (date TBA, 10AM-2PM) to present PinkSlips, Detours & Re-Entry: Restart, Recharge and Reinvent Your Legal Career on Your Own Terms. 

The event has received AMAZING reviews. Plus, the event location (Busboys & Poets) is great--and the food they provided PinkSlips attendees was delicious. If you're "in between" jobs, looking for work, thinking about hanging your own shingle (esp. in light of the big firm bubble burst), or dreaming about getting back to work after a career detour, like raising children, this event is for you.

Why attend the PinkSlips, Detours & Re-Entry Event?
• Build your network and connect with local lawyers who know what you’re going through (e.g., “mommy guilt”, work/life balance issues, career stress)
• Discover how to build your own brand and enhance marketability
• Learn strategies for creating the work/life balance you dream about
• Discover strategies for finding flexible, meaningful part-time work and how to “go solo” flexibly
• Familiarize yourself with the latest Web 2.0 technologies for time management, road warrior’ing and building professional and personal connections.
• Discover how to best use your time “between” jobs
• A “no excuse” event: casual attire, bring your baby
• Convenient and affordable alternative to the costs of alternative on-ramp or coaching programs

The official PinkSlips, Detours & Re-Entry site will be up by week's end (www.pinkSlipsanddetours). Get ready, get set to grab your seat and early-bird discount. Space is limited and there is no at-the-door registration.
