The 2010 Los Angeles Diversity Mixer Was a Hit!
We had over 300 guests and tons of energy, lots of networking, and many recruiting connections being made.
  
  
A big thank you to all our sponsors, partners, and recruiters who attended!

Dear Iva,
I attended the LA Diversity Mixer at the Kress in February, in hopes of meeting recruiters who would help me find an accounting position that matched my qualifications. I met a number of recruiters from different companies, but luckily one of the last ones I met was Eva Chiu, from Ajilon. At the mixer, we discussed a variety of things, including the kinds of positions I was looking for and possible locations I would be willing to commute to. After our meeting, we followed up with each other via e-mail, and I was surprised when less than two weeks later, Eva contacted me regarding a position with a company that matched everything we had discussed at the mixer. I interviewed with the company the next day and found out a couple of hours after the meeting that I had gotten the job. I have not had this kind of an experience before and I thank the Riordan Programs Alumni Association for hosting the event that led to the end of my job search. I am about to complete my first week on the job and still can't believe how great of a fit the company and the position are. I am truly thankful and hope that others may have a similar experience to mine.
Also, please thank Ahmar R. on my behalf. It was wonderful to have met him that night, his passion clearly shows.
Thank you!

Thanks very much for getting me and my colleagues into the networking event last night. As you can imagine, we have to attend a lot of events during the year and this, by far, was one of the best we've attended in a long time. Much appreciated.
