That's not all. In its fast-moving three-hour program, JOB will pack in blind speakers from many different lines of work. Check out their tips for success. One agenda item features NFB chapter members in a single chapter who, in just two months, have helped SIX fellow members to find decent work!

You'll meet good people to call on for help when you are back home and get stuck. Bring copies of your resume. Keep your notebook handy. Pick up valuable JOB publications at the seminar and on the JOB table in the exhibit hall. Job seeker, professional job developer, or employerþthis seminar will help.
