Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
I just wanted to give all you jobseekers some information that will help
you navigate from now through our convention successfully. First
of all, here is a list of the Employment Committee events:<br>
·        Job Seeker Seminar, Monday July 10, 12:30-4:00
pm, Sebastian I-2<br>
·        Etiquette Dinner presented by the Employment
Committee, Monday July 10, 5:30 pm, Café Osceola, Rosen Shingle Creek
(now full, taking backup registrations only)<br>
·        National Job Fair, Tuesday July 11, 9:30-11:30
am, Panzacola Ballroom F3 and F4<br>
·        NFB Employment Committee Meeting, Thursday July
13, 7:00-9:00 pm, Wekiwa 10<br>
·        Upward Mobility Seminar, Friday July 14,
7:00-9:30 pm, Wekiwa 4<br>
 <br>
<u>You must pre-register or register to attend the Job Fair this
year</u>. You may pre-register by completing the Pre-registration
form under Convention Events at our Employment Committee website, which
is <a href="https://employment.nfb.org/">https://employment.nfb.org/</a>,
attaching your resume, and sending it to Suzanne Turner (instructions are
on the form). Pre-registrants are still eligible to get their
resumes fixed by the Resume Doctors. If you want this done, send a
note saying you want your resume doctored. A doctor will get back
to you. Because of the short time frame, we are splitting the
resumes between the doctors. <u>If you want your resume doctored,
the deadline is June 30</u>. <br>
 <br>
<u>The deadline for pre-registration is July 3</u>; after that you will
need to register for the Job Fair at the convention. There will be two
times you can register for the Job Fair: Monday, July 10 from 12:30 to
4:00 pm outside the Job Seeker Seminar, and Tuesday July 11 from 8:30 to
11:30 outside the Job Fair. <u>Remember, you must register before
you can enter the Job Fair - no exceptions!</u> Â See one of my earlier
emails for the reason why. There is no registration needed for any
of our other events except for the Etiquette Dinner, which is now
full. <br>
 <br>
The list of Job Fair Employers is at
<a href="https://employment.nfb.org/">https://employment.nfb.org/</a>
under Convention Events. It will be updated at least weekly. Right now we
have about 25 employers, and keep adding about one a day. If you are not
coming to the Job Fair, please do not contact them until after the
convention. And yes, <u>we are still accepting applications from
employers</u>. If you know of an employer who wants to come, have
them contact me at
<a href="mailto:ddavis@blindinc.org">ddavis@blindinc.org</a>, or call me
at 612-872-0100, ext. 202. <br>
 <br>
We recommend that you dress up for all of our events, as there will be
employers present at all of them, and you will never get a second chance
to make a good first impression. Last year we had some people show
up at the Job Fair looking like they had just come from the pool.
That’s a job killer. If anyone shows up inappropriately dressed this
year, as in t-shirt and hat, flip-flops, shorts, etc. we will give them
the opportunity to go back to their room and dress appropriately.Â
Remember, your personal appearance reflects on all of us. <br>
 <br>
If you need additional information, email me at
<a href="mailto:ddavis@blindinc.org">ddavis@blindinc.org</a> or call me
at 612-872-0100, ext. 202. <br>
 <br>
Thank you all,<br>
Dick Davis, Chair<br>
NFB Employment Committee<br>
