Columbus Caffeine and Career Confidence

Sun, Oct 18, 9:00 PM
From Casual Coffee Chats And Interview Prep

We are hosting a casual morning meetup to talk shop and work through some of the common hurdles that come with job searching and professional development. Whether you are currently on the hunt for a new role, looking to brush up on your interview skills, or just want to connect with others in Columbus who are navigating their own career paths, this is a space to share experiences and get some honest feedback in a low-pressure environment. We will keep things pretty informal, focusing on open conversation rather than a structured lecture. It is a great chance to bounce ideas off one another, practice answering those tough interview questions, or simply enjoy a good cup of coffee while meeting some new people in the local community. If you have been feeling like you could use a sounding board for your next career move, we would love to have you join us. Please let us know if you can make it by clicking the button to RSVP so we have an idea of how many people to expect.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games

Thu, Sep 24, 10:30 PM
From Casual Boardgames - Worthington/Lewis Center
4.9

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
