SCLUG -- the South Coast Linux Users' Group -- will be meeting this Thursday 5th May at the University of Wollongong.
This month, Ashley Maher will be talking on OpenSkills. It is an expanded version of the first part of Bruce's talk at the last SLUG meeting. If that whet your appetite, or you missed Bruce's talk, come along down to the lovely south coast and find out what OpenSkills can do for you. Sooner or later the good life must come to an end, and we need to look for work. The good news is there is an alternative to the Recruitment Agencies, one focused on you, not profit. OpenSkills� is a global non-profit association of individual members. OpenSkills exists to promote the skills of its members, and support members in their professional endeavors. Being a not for profit means everything OpenSkills makes is spent on promoting members. OpenSkills provides a skills base. This is where all members list their skills for searching by potential employers and recruiters. Everybody with web access has the ability to search the SkillsBase for skilled people - which is essentially the ability to connect people together. The SkillsBase is free to search, so nothing stands in the way of employers looking for you. Publicity - OpenSkills publicises its website and services - which means that members receive the benefit of that publicity through a larger number of people looking at your skills and offering projects to you. So come along Thursday night to: Location: University of Wollongong, building 39, room 217. Date/Time: 5th May, 2005, 6:30pm Note: The building is locked in the evenings, please try and arrive before 6:20, outside building 39 near building 3 (look for the very large roller door). You may need to call Matt on 0421 257 433 for access if you arrive late.
