A variety of health care professionals, health care advocates and health care sales representatives from across the nation regularly attend national health care conferences.

When attendees visit the VA booth during a National Conference, they have the unique opportunity to interact directly with consultants from the VHA National Recruitment Program. According to Crystal Waite, VHA Healthcare Recruitment and Marketing National Events Coordinator, this time is invaluable for potential candidates.

“They have direct access to someone who can answer their questions, provide point of contact information, discuss job availability, locations, employment requirements and benefits,” said Waite.

VA also uses social media to promote attendance at the conferences, and conference attendees can follow us on Twitter (@VAcareers) and search #workatVA. By following our account and #workatVA, you can learn about job openings, upcoming Twitter Chats and valuable hiring information in real time.
