A job hunting community in London and online. Coffee on a Sunday, a WhatsApp group the rest of the week. This page is the honest version so you know what you’re walking into.

A café table in London on a Sunday morning.

The short answer

The short answer

People turn up at a café, get a coffee, and sit with other people who are job hunting. That’s it. There’s no programme, nobody stands at the front, nobody makes you introduce yourself.

If the morning turns into someone reading your cover letter over your shoulder, fine. That happens a lot. It’s just never on a schedule.

What you don’t have to do

What you don’t have to do

Bring a CV

Nobody’s going to ask for one. If you want someone to look at it, ask.

Introduce yourself to the room

You can sit down and say nothing for twenty minutes. People do.

Explain the gap

Everyone here has one or has had one. It stops being a conversation topic quickly.

Be unemployed

Underemployed, on a bad contract, trying to get out of something. All fine.

Most of it happens between meetups

The WhatsApp group is where people post jobs they’ve seen, complain about a take-home task, or say they’ve got an interview on Thursday. It ticks over quietly. You don’t have to say anything in there either.

A Sunday, roughly

A Sunday, roughly

Ten in the morning. People arrive over about twenty minutes, so being late isn’t late.

You order something, find the table, sit down.

Talk about whatever. Some of it is job hunting. A lot of it isn’t.

People start drifting off around twelve. Some stay longer.

Coffee on the table at a Job Comeback meetup.

Practical

It’s free. You pay for your own coffee. Meetups are listed on Eventbrite so there’s a rough headcount, but nobody checks a list at the door. Venues are always somewhere you can sit for two hours without being moved on.
