Tune up your resumes: CSME to hold high calibre mixer

The Canadian Society of Magazine Editors (CSME) holds occasional "mixers" in Toronto with special guests.

Next time, on March 29 at Bar Italia on College Street starting at 6 p.m., it will have Kim Pittaway, former editor of Chatelaine and current Chair of the National Magazine Awards Foundation, and Laas Turnbull, former editor of Report on Business magazine and now executive vice-president of Brunico Communications (Strategy, Playback etc.)

The mixer is called, rather ominously, Bulletproof your career and is appropriately illustrated (see above left). Apparently, the reality of the matter is less ominous, more about "staying ahead of the pack" than any actual mayhem. Lucky participants who respond early may get a one-on-one critique of their resumes from the guests. Everybody else, we suppose, will just drink and schmooze. It's $15 for CSME members and $30 to non-members; entry includes nibbles and one free drink.
