require 'date' — The 2nd Annual Ruby Job Fair

We had such a blast with our science fair last year that we decided to do it again. This year we’re changing things up and going with a “speed dating” structure: 5 minute rapid fire interviews between prospects and would-be employers before rotating to the next person.

The event itself will likely only take about two hours, but then we’re moving on to Part 2… we’re hosting a BBQ for all Toronto Rubyists on the roof here at Unspace. So even if you’re not interested in the speed dating rounds, you should 100% RSVP for the after-party.

The event will be on Sunday, May 30th at The Rivoli in the back room from 2pm (sharp!) until 4pm. After 4pm and until 9pm we’ll move next door to Unspace. We’re at 342 Queen St. W, Floor 3.

This event is designed to be light-hearted and fun. We want you to take it seriously, even though this might be the only formal job interview you ever have with an Old Fashioned in your hand. Make sure that you bring business cards and expect surprises. Last year we had a visit from Harinder Takhar, the Ontario Minister of Small Business!

Employment.nil? Job Fair was a success!
