Welcome to the Dovetail Social and Networking Group's exciting event: NETWORKING BINGO!

Come join us at Alioto's on North Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa, WI, USA for a fun-filled evening of networking with a twist! Get to know fellow professionals in a relaxed atmosphere while playing a game of Bingo designed to break the ice and spark conversations.

As we all know, the best way to land a job is through networking!

For over 14 years, Dovetail monthly LIVE networking events have been the cornerstone for a group of dedicated professionals attending to continue strong relationships forged during the hard times of the Great Recession.

In the spirit of "pay it forward," Dovetail members attend to mentor new job seekers, serving as indispensable advisors from having experienced job loss themselves.

Newcomers are surprised at the welcoming and fun "vibe," and the casual environment. With social skills rusty from from solitude and working from home, it's a great "safe" place to learn how to hang out with business professionals again.

Here's a few guidelines:

No awkward hanging by yourself. You'll receive a Networking Bingo card upon arrival; have fun meeting new connections as you strive to win your exciting BINGO prize!\

  1. Please support Dovetail with a modest donation. This will cover the costs of our materials and the hot refreshments that are provided at our meeting.
  2. Dress to impress. Rock your jeans if you must, but look like you're a pro. Your attitude? "How can I help you!"
  3. Please purchase a beverage and tip your server. Going without a beverage or asking for free water is not courteous to our venue and the staff.
  4. Have fun!

Frequently asked questions

Should I bring a resume?

It does feel a little dorky when you see someone wondering around with a bunch of resumes. However, you may want to be up to date on sharing your LinkedIn profile via your smartphone. Go ahead - bring a resume if you'd like. We've all been there!

How do I start conversation?

How about extending your hand and saying Hi, I'm Laura. What brought you here tonight?
