"The stars we are given. The constellations we make." - Rebecca Solnit, American writer |
|
|
Ah, the life of an entrepreneur. I had a dream this week that all of you showed up two hours early for a conference session that was, for some reason, going to be held in my personal hotel room. As I was trying to go out and announce the correct time (in my pajamas), I fell into the hotel pool! Why am I dreaming about in-person events? Because they are back on the horizon! |

Watch your email next week as we'll announce the opening of registration for the Career Thought Leaders Symposium in April 2022 in the heart of downtown Philadelphia and put out a call for proposals. We'll make sure you have the right time for the sessions and I'll steer clear of the pool :) Marie Zimenoff

APR 26 | Learn to Help Clients Through Federal Job Applications & Earn the ACRW-Federal |
In this certification and training program, you will learn how to help clients access an opportunity to serve their country while gaining employment with strong benefits, stability, and a reliable schedule.
Helping a client apply for a position with the federal government is much different than applying for a position in the private sector. Most federal positions are posted on USAJOBS (USAJOBS.gov) and most postings require that applicants apply through the system. It is important that federal resume writers understand how the system works so they can properly advise their clients.
This program, developed and taught by former federal HR professional Nancy Segal, will take you step-by-step through the federal application and resume development process. |
