Come join us for the seventh annual offering of EMbark Career and Emerging Professionals’ Day. EMbark is your introduction to IAEM and the Annual Conference! Whether you're a student, scholar, new practitioner – or all three – as an emerging professional you'll find something of value. EMbark brings you interesting speakers, beneficial topics and the opportunity to learn more about the emergency management field. EMbark aims to give you information on navigating academics and practice to successfully transition to the workplace, including networking, identifying mentors and more.
This mixer is a must attend event for those who are students, new to Emergency Management and/or IAEM, and looking to break through. You will have the opportunity to meet IAEM Leadership across the organization. Plus mingle and network with other seasoned members who represent a wide variety of emergency manager professions. We will have some fun games and prizes in store for you as we work to build strong and resilient partnerships across the profession.
Bring a copy of your resume and/or cover letter. During this time you will receive individual feedback and have an opportunity to ask questions. Participants must sign up for available time slots. Sign-ups will be available as the conference draws near.
This year’s Career Workshop Spotlight will focus on a couple of unique topics which will assist you in preparing to obtain that job you’ve been seeking. Our speakers this year will focus on the topics of cover letters, letters of recommendation, transitioning from one career to another, and also tips in working through USAJOBS process for a federal position.
The process in obtaining any job can be tough, the process of obtaining a job within the federal government can be overwhelming for many. Our speakers will cover unique strategies that can be used by anyone for any position for which they may be applying.
As competition increases for emergency management careers, we want to offer insights to techniques that will improve your opportunity to achieve that dream position.
Once again this year, as an extension of the workshop, we will be scheduling mock interviews, resume revues and listing various job/career opportunities.
