Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed at Austin's First Geek Breakfast - SXSW 2009

Dave Delaney was kind enough to host Austin's first Geek Breakfast at Hoovers on Sunday, March 15. It was mighty early, but I met some great people at my 8 am breakfast!



Thanks, Scott for the video!

Love my new job!

Okay, so it's not so new anymore. I've been with Kershner Trading here in Austin since Dec. 1. But I'm still enamoured.

One of the cool benefits is that they cater in lunch everyday. It's not free, but pretty close to it. We pay monthly to partake in the yumminess.

Today's lunch was too good not to tell you about. We had: Pecan Crusted Chicken with Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Sauce, served with Roasted Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes and Dill Glazed Carrots.

Wow!

Know someone looking for a job that can appreciate a fun benefit like catered in lunch? Have them reach out to me - khaynes(at)kershnertrading(dot)com.

I'm currently sourcing for a Sr. Accountant, an HR Generalist, an HR Intern, a Technical Support position and both inexperienced and experienced traders.

Great Fundraiser Event to Benefit Caritas of Austin

So, for those of you who may not know it, I've left Bulldog Solutions and have joined Kershner Trading as a Recruiting Specialist. I know I need to update a ton of things on my blog, but first things first.

If you're in Austin today (Wed., Dec. 3) we'd love to have you join us tonight!

This year, my new employer, Kershner Trading has partnered with Ten Thousand Village's Austin's SoCo location and Caritas of Austin to create a unity holiday shopping evening.

When: December 3 from 5-8 pm

Where: 10,000 Villages, 1317 S. Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704

Come support two great charitable causes and find unique gift ideas for the upcoming holidays. For those unfamiliar with 10,000 Villages, here is the mission statement from their webpage:

At Ten Thousand Villages, we work with over 120 artisan groups in more than 30 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to bring you fair trade jewelry, home decor, gifts and more. As one of the world's oldest and largest fair trade organizations, we build long-term relationships with artisans that are based on mutual understanding and respect. Fair trade enables artisans to earn a fair wage and provides the opportunity for a better quality of life.

Additionally, since Kershner is sponsoring the event through their volunteer support, we are able to donate 20% of the total sales from 5-8 PM to Caritas of Austin. Caritas is another great organization fighting hunger, homelessness, and poverty in our greater Austin community.
