1:30pm- Success to Success
You have some good experience and knowledge. How do you leverage your past successes into a new position where you can succeed? Learn what you need to do to create an effective job search that results in the right job offer for you. Whether you are starting your job search or need to kick it into high gear, you will leave with a better plan.

2:00pm - Start Right for Success
Most success is ‘won’ in the first few months as the patterns and practices one creates when newly in the job set the stage for success or failure. And not surprisingly, most are lost in the first few months, even if the person doesn’t go for 12-18 months. How do you decide to accept and start a new position? What will you do in the first few weeks to ensure you succeed?

Despite the fact that many industries have been hit hard by the current recession, there are hundreds of federal agencies with “Help Wanted” signs.
