WTVR To Host CBS 6 Joblink Pink Slip Party
(Richmond, VA) --- CBS 6 WTVR-TV is pleased to host a meaningful service for the community – The CBS 6 Joblink Pink Slip Party, Wednesday May 27th, from 5:30-7:30p.m. at TJ’s in the historic Jefferson Hotel.

A Pink Slip Party is a tradition that has been around since the early 1900’s. These “parties” were initially established by hundreds of unemployed workers to gather, commiserate being laid off, the closing of factories and the country being in a state of flux.

The CBS 6 Job Link Pink Slip Party will host a variety of beneficial services for Central Virginians. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with employers, career advisors, recruiters, and financial & health experts – just to name a few.

“This will provide a valuable service for Central Virginians feeling the pain of the economy,” said CBS 6 Joblink Director Connie Salinas. “Virginia has not been immune to the economic problems you hear about every day,” continued Salinas. “The CBS 6 Joblink Pink Slip Party will bring people together and allow them to network with other colleagues in the community or explore new career opportunities.”
