!IT Jeans Giveaway Requirements & The "G.I.F.T Movement"

Requirements:

1. Must be currently unemployed.
2. Must bring proof of unemployment (ex: a copy of a Unemployment Insurance Benefits stub) to event
3. Must post a Twitter Tweet with the tags "@pinkslipped or @pinkGIFT" or leave a message on the Facebook "ITJeans_GIFTMovement" Page mentioning your planned attendance to the event
4. Must bring printed copy of their "tweet" or Facebook post to event

!iT Jeans kicked off its "G.I.F.T. Movement"- which stands for "Generate your style. Inspire new trends. Find value. Transform you and your friends"-on March 20th, when Song and her team brought the !iT Jeans Hope RV to downtown Los Angeles during the Fall '09 Los Angeles Fashion Market. !iT Jeans is hoping to roll out other programs based on the G.I.F.T. Movement. The company is currently looking at ways it can help families and young professionals affected by the financial crisis.

"In times like this, you need to work together as a community to help others in need, to be able to share information, to be able to inspire others. That's a gift in itself," states Kimmy Song, !iT Jeans CEO. !iT Jeans will be driving their G.I.F.T. Movement Hope RV to the "Creating your Consulting Career" Pink Slip Party.

This event will also focus around the theme of "Creating your Consulting Career", which simply put, means how to focus your job search efforts on consulting positions instead of permanent positions. With companies still very reluctant to add permanent headcount because of the uncertain economy, most employers are now focusing 100% of their efforts on hiring contractors. We'll be providing tips and information as to how you can tailor your job search to match how companies are managing their hiring process through consultants, how you can market yourself to potential clients, etc.

We look forward to seeing you on June 9th!
