The Last Friday Job Party is a monthly virtual event hosted by the tech brands of GEE Group: Agile, ADCC, Paladin, and SNI Technology.. It started as a small session for mid-to-senior IT pros—now it’s a growing community for tech, techno-functional, and everything in between.
If you’re feeling stuck, overlooked, or unsure what really works anymore in a job search, you’re not alone. The hiring process has changed, and most of the advice out there hasn’t kept up. That’s why we created Last Friday Job Party—a space for honest conversations, real-time support, and the kind of career guidance you can actually use.
We’re your hosts—Ben Sheffield (SNI Technology) and Ciara Nasuti (Agile). Ben’s a technical recruiter with over a decade of experience matching IT professionals with roles that fit. He knows what hiring managers are looking for and how to help candidates get in front of the right ones. Ciara brings a background in tech recruiting, sales, and branding. She leads the conversation with a focus on visibility, storytelling, and helping job seekers show up with confidence—even in a broken system.
Each session is built around what job seekers say they need most:
•LinkedIn strategies that actually get noticed
•Resume advice that reflects today’s hiring reality
•Smart ways to navigate around the broken parts of the system
We also invite guest speakers—career coaches, tech leaders, recruiters—who share firsthand insight into what’s happening in the market and how to move forward with intention.
But Last Friday Job Party (LFJP) is more than a webinar. It’s a space to meet people who are going through it too. You’ll grow your network, get plugged into our LinkedIn community group, and stay supported between sessions as you job hunt, pivot, or level up.
You’ll also find a growing collection of free tools and guides right here on this page (just scroll down). We’ve put together resume templates, job tracking resources, and other helpful downloads to keep things moving.
And before we sign off, we highlight an adoptable pet from Love4Paws, and it’s our favorite way to send folks out with a smile.
This isn’t about fluff or false hope.
We’re here to make this your Last Friday on the job hunt.
