Angelika Californians are known for their boundless optimism and inventiveness. In San Francisco and other cities in Silicon Valley, there are now so-called "Pink-Slip Parties." These are parties that serve no other purpose than informal job searching. The term "Pink Slip" is used because a termination notice is typically given to an employee on a "pink slip" (a pink form). At these gatherings, job seekers and employers casually exchange information over a bottle of beer or a glass of wine in a nightclub. The goal is to make connections in a pleasant atmosphere and hopefully be invited to a job interview. Not a bad idea!
