CareerSource Capital Region is launching "Find a Job Friday," an event for job seekers who have a profile on Employ Florida and a current resume. At these events, attendees can connect with employers at CareerSource Capital Region Career Centers on specific Fridays each month. The participating employers will have immediate job openings that they are looking to fill!
Benefits of Attending Find a Job Friday:
Direct Interaction: Attendees can meet recruiters and hiring managers face-to-face, make a personal impression, and receive immediate feedback, even potentially getting an on-the-spot interview.
Networking Opportunities: These events often gather professionals and job seekers from various industries, providing valuable networking opportunities that could lead to future career prospects.
Access to Multiple Employers and Companies: Connect with multiple actively hiring employers in one event. Learn about different company cultures and available positions directly from representatives to make informed decisions about where to apply.
Discover Hidden Opportunities: Not all job openings are publicly advertised; attending a Find a Job Friday event might uncover hidden job opportunities that are not listed online.
Overall, attending a Find a Job Friday can be a proactive step in a job search, offering numerous advantages that online applications may not provide.
“We encourage individuals who are looking for work to attend one or more Find a Job Friday events over the next year where many job vacancies are sure to be filled by capital area employers,” said Trish Yahn, Sr. Director at CareerSource Capital Region. She went on to say that “any employers with immediate job openings are encouraged to let us know that they would like to register for a booth at Find a Job Friday by emailing cbes@careersourcecapitalregion.com.”

Keep Wakulla County Beautiful champions an Adopt-a-Road litter prevention program. This initiative enables citizens and businesses to show pride in Wakulla County by safely reducing the amount of unsightly trash and dangerous debris alongside county roadways. Rybak Realty adopted a one-mile section of Cajer Posey Road in Wakulla County (two miles of total roadway). The brokerage’s intent behind this adoption is to directly benefit the community through civic involvement and area beautification. Rybak Realty’s second of four scheduled 2024 clean-ups took place on June 15th from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. With four members of the community toting reusable bags from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Coastal Management Program, an entire Waste Management bin was filled with garbage and an entire recycling bin was filled with glass, aluminum, and plastic. Litter has the potential to pose a threat to the health and well-being of people and wildlife. Study after study shows “clean and green” neighborhoods tend to be safer than neighborhoods littered with garbage and automobile debris. Cleanliness matters. VOLUNTEER! Rybak Realty welcomes extra hands for its remaining 2024 clean-ups: September 14th and December 14th. Visit https://RybakRealty.US, dial 850-745-6047, and follow Rybak Realty, LLC on LinkedIn for additional information. Cannot physically volunteer? Consider sponsoring our volunteers by providing a refreshing snack. Teresa Hatler of D.R. Horton sponsored our June 15th clean-up.
