====================================================================
The main concept of Professionals Social Network (PSN) is to provide a monthly social networking event on Fridays for Qwave professionals. We want to make our social meetup as welcoming as possible. We would like to invite all Qwavers to stay connected. While making new friends and having fun, we also try to help job seekers or give advice for recent graduates if there is any. We share our coming out experience in the work force if there is any.

Currently, we have met people from different lines of work including design (apparel/graphic/interior/web), education, finance (accounting/real estate management), publishing, sport (bike technician), science (pharmacy/health/medical), travel, and web technology backgrounds.

Does it sound interesting to you? Let’s meetup this Friday!
