Careermixers.com Organizes Networking Career Events To Cultivate Relationship Between Job-Candidates

WASHINGTON - Sept. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- WASHINGTON, DC, September 22 2014 - When it comes to "The Art of Career Networking", job candidates in the Washington, DC metro area now have a better option.  Launched in September, Career Mixers (www.careermixers.com) organizes networking & career events to cultivate relationships between hiring companies and job-seekers in casual and social settings. Unlike traditional job fairs, Career Mixers promotes and builds connections without the need to exchange resumes.

"Our career networking events help job seekers and hiring managers develop a community where they can share information about job opportunities not advertised on job boards or publicly announced. These opportunities are often filled by word-of-mouth or networking" says Sylvie Luanghy, a co-organizer of Career Mixers.

Many employers prefer to interview candidates referred by someone they know and trust. They are strong believers in referrals and face-to-face interactions rather than costly employment agencies or classified ads. Career Mixers networking events are focused on personal interaction and small group conversation.

"Career Mixers events are free for job seekers. Our events are also organized in different locations to encourage people to get out of their comfort zones and develop a broad list of connections. The goal is to create an environment of reciprocity by developing strong relationships between job-seekers and employers." says Luanghy

Career Mixers was founded for people who not only want to find their dream careers, but also for passive candidates who want to expand their professional networks and enhance their career paths. Its marketing program consists of reaching to its vast network, which includes friends, family, entrepreneurs, alumni, former colleagues and its various social media platforms.

These are the five reasons Luanghy believes companies should partner with Career Mixers:

Learn how potential candidates act in a social setting which may include the likelihood of a successful career transition

Meet potential candidates through our marketing efforts that leverage email lists, and other social media platforms

Promote your employer brand as a leader and center of excellence in your domain of expertise

Promote meaningful conversation between job-seekers and hiring companies

Increase brand awareness to encourage talented job-seekers to consider you

The mixer will take place on October 6, 2014 at Mad Rose Tavern at 3100 Clarendon Blvd, Arlington, VA from5:00PM-8:00PM. The event is free for all job-seekers but you MUST register at  www.careermixers.com to attend.Employers interested in partnering with Career Mixers, should contact them at info@careermixers.com
