There’s a great networking opportunity that I highly recommend: Ignite. Ignite is a program that’s held in cities around the world. It allows locals to talk about something they’re passionate about – in a short time (~5 minutes or less). There is typically a networking event before and after the performance, so it’s a great opportunity to network, learn something new, and be entertained.
The event is scheduled for November 19th at Crosstown Arts. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 later. I’ve included additional details below. To get more information, or to purchase your tickets, visit their website here.

And you thought slide shows were boring.

Copeland Coaching offering web-based job hunting services
Entrepreneur Angela Copeland has launched Copeland Coaching, a career
counseling and training firm that offers services including
interviewing, negotiating and networking.
Copeland, who participated in the inaugural cohort of the Seed
Hatchery startup accelerator in 2011, has been involved in the career
coaching industry for nearly a decade. She specializes in personal
branding and maximizing Web-based platforms during job searches.
“I started coaching while attending graduate school at Pepperdine
University and my professors noticed that I looked for jobs differently
than the other students,” Copeland said. “They began referring students
and professionals to me for career coaching and I’ve continued to coach
informally since then, recently turning it into a business.”
In addition to opening her firm, Copeland has released an e-book
titled “Breaking the Rules and Getting the Job” that offers practical
advice for job seekers.
