TBWA Provides Smart (Like a Fox) Job Search and Networking Advice

On yesterday’s Fox 13 “Your Turn” program, Alfredia Mulkey of Tampa Bay WorkForce Alliance took part in an important and timely discussion on ‘how networks and groups help support a job search’.  Mulkey provided Fox 13 viewers with expert advice on creating their own personal job search and networking strategies.

A key program discussed at length was TBWA’s Professional Networking Group, a weekly get-together of Tampa professionals looking to acquire better, more effective job search and networking skills. The TBWA Professional Networking Group meets each Monday from 9 -11 a.m.  Often speaking at TBWA Networking Group sessions are Tampa-area human resources professionals (and other recruiters) who share valuable information on what they look for in job candidates.

Mulkey also spoke on such topics as:

- How best to develop and present a 30-second elevator speech, which gives job seekers an opportunity to communicate ‘who they are’ and ‘what they’re looking for’ in a job.

- The importance of networking and not relying solely on Internet-based job searching.

- How to dress for a job interview: for entry-level positions, slacks and a button-up shirt are fine, but professional-level job candidates should wear a dark suit.

Other Tampa-area job search experts on the panel included Ron Weaver of RealEstatesLives.org, a support group for out-of-work real estate agents, and Jim Kissane, who works with a job seeker support group with St. Paul Catholic Church.
