In addition to wanting to improve yourselves personally, your education is to help you in the job market. NFB-Newsline provides a tool for helping you secure employment.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The job listings feature of NFB-Newsline can help you with this endeavor. By setting up a work search profile, you can begin to think about the different factors that go into deciding what you will do for a living.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will be teaching profile building during the break-out sessions on Saturday. Those of you who are eager and curious about the process can certainly set up your profiles in advance. We can then work on more advanced aspects of the job listing feature at the conference. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Below are some basic instructions for setting up a profile. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>The following is a set of instructions that can be used to navigate the job listings feature on NFB Newsline via phone:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> After entering your NFB Newsline credentials, you will be presented with the main menu. This menu contains a variety of options. We want to focus on job listings though. To select this option, press the number 9 on your telephone keypad.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> You are then prompted to enter some information for your job search. The first thing that is asked is for you to enter a zip code. It should be five digits. Pressing the pound key after the last digit is not necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Immediately after you input the last digit, you are asked to confirm your location. Pressing one at this point will confirm, and pressing 2 will revert you back to the previously requested information.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Once location is confirmed, you are directed to verify or modify a search distance. The default setting for this is 30 miles. To change it, press number 2. To continue, press the number 1. If the number 2 is pressed, a list of search distance options is available to you. Simply dial the corresponding number to select one. Then, make sure to confirm the selected option.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Following the search distance selection, you will be presented with a prompt to select a job category. There are 40 plus job categories. Each one has a corresponding double-digit number. They are announced alphabetically. Once a desired option is heard, simply dial the two numbers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> The next step is to select your highest education level. The default for this is unspecified. You are welcome to leave it as such. However, if you wish to be more specific to narrow your search results, you might want to change this option. Again, the numbers 1 and 2 have the same functionality. Press one to confirm unspecified, and press the number 2 to change it. If the decision to press the number 2 is made, listen for your highest education level, and press the corresponding number to select it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> The next question will ask you to identify full-time, part time, contract, internship, and seasonal temp parameters. By default, all of these options are set to be displayed in your search results. To change these options, press the number 2. To continue, press the number 1. If the number 2 is pressed, you will be presented with five similar prompts that require input. They will each ask you if you would like to either include or exclude the option in your search query. Press 1 to include, and press 2 to exclude. An example of such a prompt is: "To include seasonal temporary jobs, press 1. To exclude seasonal temporary jobs, press 2." <a name="_GoBack"></a>After defining the inclusion or exclusion of the five options, you are asked to confirm. To continue, press 1.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> The next two prompts will ask you to identify a minimum and maximum annual salary respectively. The default for minimum annual salary is 0 dollars. The default for maximum annual salary is 120000 dollars. To change either one of these values, press the number 2. To confirm the defaults, simply press the number 1. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Finally, your search results are displayed. To continue, press the number 1. You will then be asked if you would like to either save or discard your search. To save, press the number 1. To discard your search, press the number 2.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have any questions ahead of time, please feel free to contact our Newsline Coordinator for Texas, Steve Tompkins at 512-323-5444, or <a href="mailto:stompkins@nfbtx.org">stompkins@nfbtx.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>See y’all in two weeks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>...Gabe<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
