What we’re about
Until further notice, all meetings will be online only, via Zoom (see Zoom info below).
We meet the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month (unless New Year's Day or the 4th of July or another event gets in the way) to provide networking time and a speaker who will address topics pertinent to job seekers. See below and/or click on "Events" above to see upcoming events.
BoulderNet is free and open to the public. All are welcome! We encourage serious job seekers! Meetings are from 9 to approx. 10:30 a.m.
We are a job search networking & presentations group with members from diverse professional backgrounds. Unlike networking groups focused on a specialized profession, members may exchange information on any inside company contacts they may have without increasing the level of competition for the kinds of jobs they are personally seeking.
We host high-quality job search and career development speakers at our meetings. These speakers provide professional guidance on increasing members' job hunting skills and often offer a certain amount of individualized service for free.
There are so many changes in the corporate world, and a loss of job security in today's employment market. We at BoulderNet are seeing an increased interest in people wanting to learn more about employment opportunities, career networking, and self-employment in Colorado.
All attendees have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their job search goals and target companies. Constructive feedback, resources, leads, referrals and encouragement from all attending will be encouraged.
