Employment Seminar at NFB Convention<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hi, <BR> <BR>I
thought I would send out this preliminary note about this year's Employment
Seminar at the NFB Convention in Dallas. As usual, it will be on Saturday
June 30, but this year it will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We have
two agenda items already scheduled. <BR> <BR>Brenda Mosby, of the
Colorado Center for the Blind will present a mini-seminar on how to get a job in
the federal government: "Is a federal job in your future? Find out!".
She's going to bring people from the federal government to explain how the
Schedule A process works. And yes, they are still
hiring.<BR> <BR>Robert Leslie Newman is going to talk about "Where The
Blind Work', the database of employed blind mentors that the Writers Division
developed. It's a good career exploration and blind jobseeker resource,
and we need to make sure more people use it. <BR> <BR>There will also
be the usual announcements and job exchange, in which people who know of job
vacancies and people who are looking for jobs can network with each other.
<BR> <BR>Well, that's enough for now. We're going to have a committee
teleconference, which will no doubt generate additional agenda items. For
those of you who want to know, we will once again be recording the seminar,
which will be available for free on the NFB website. But if you can come,
please do, because it's hard to ask questions of a recording.
