Work Drinks: Pop-up pub The Linked Inn offers job opportunities in Manchester

Fancy finding a new job with your pint? The Linked Inn can help with that. This new pop-up pub from the folks behind  professional networking site LinkedIn will take over Deansgate’s Atlas Bar on Tue 4 and Wed 5 Jun and promises to replace the pain of job seeking with the laid back ease of a swift one down at your local. This left-field idea was inspired by research which revealed that almost half of Brits (around 45%) would rather spend their time at the pub than getting their heads down and applying for a new job. Shocking result? Maybe not – but any excuse for a quick pint is fine by us, and if it helps broaden your employment options, even better. The Linked Inn (we see what you did there, LinkedIn) promises to feature a host of hot companies alongside its selection of drinks, including Heineken, H&M and Auto Trader – all of whom will be on the look out for fresh Manchester talent to recruit. What’s more, LinkedIn experts will be on-hand to offer industry advice and help you capture the perfect profile picture courtesy of their in-house photographer. Entry is free and those interested can register via Eventbrite.

Tue 4 – Wed 5 Jun, The Linked Inn AKA Atlas Bar, 376 Deansgate, Manchester M3 4LY, Tel: 0161 834 2124, 5pm-9pm, FREE, www.Eventbrite.co.uk
