Jobvite discovered that job seeking is now a 24/7 activity, with job seekers using their mobile phones during their commute, while on the job, and even in the bathroom! Gain insights for successfully bridging the digital gap into the world of social networking and get an overview of the top social networks.

 “DON'T LET THE FROZEN FEDERAL LANDSCAPE KEEP YOUR CLIENTS IN THE COLD”

Presenter:  Natalie Kauffman, M.S., MCC, NCC, NCCC, GCDF, KauffmanNcareers, LLC

Private Career Practitioner | Transition Consultant | Federal Job Coach & Trainer

The outlook for Federal Government employment growth in Florida is bleak and will begin to worsen over the forecast horizon according to the Florida & Metro Forecast 2016-2019, crafted by University of Florida’s Institute for Economic Competitiveness, http://business.ucf.edu/centers-institutes/institute-economic-competitiveness/. This means competition will be keener for the fewer and fewer federal job opportunities available in our state. Now more than ever, those of us who assist federal job seekers in Florida need to enhance our own understanding of the unique process for securing federal employment so we can better facilitate this process for those we serve. This 2-hour, May Federal Job Search webinar will help broaden and deepen understanding of the federal job search process, will emphasize how to better assist federal job seekers articulate what they can do for a federal employer in writing through USAJOB application development and will share resources to help federal job search candidates strengthen both their job and informational interview preparation and implementation.
