In an effort to better serve our job seekers Nationwide, we are hosting short, informative Twitter Chats that highlight certain regions in the country. This week, we are focusing on positions at the VA Sunshine Healthcare Network in Florida and surrounding locations.
A great benefit of a career at VA is that you can practice virtually anywhere in the country, with only 1 active state license. So if you don’t currently live in Florida, but think the Sunshine State might be right for you, we encourage you to participate in the conversation!
Join us for a Twitter Chat this Thursday, July 10th, from 1:00-1:30 ET. This will be a great opportunity for you to learn more about career opportunities, while sharing your own experiences and learning from others—all in 140 characters or less!
What is a Twitter Chat?
A Twitter chat is a public Twitter conversation around one unique hashtag (ours is #WorkAtVA). The goal of a Twitter chat is to connect people with similar interests. By participating, you can gain real-time knowledge about careers at VA and also grow your professional network by meeting and following new people.
How does it work?
Imagine being in a classroom with a panel of experts at the front of the room, prepared to answer your questions. They’ve had time to talk, but now it’s time for the Q&A. Everyone in the room can raise their hand at once, or whenever something comes to mind. Questions get answered quickly and in the order they were received. Everyone leaves with a better understanding of the topic, and everyone has learned from the questions and answers of other participants. The bonus: You get a transcript of the Q&A session to take home, just in case you need to reference it later.
Now, move that experience online and you have a Twitter chat.
How do I participate?
If you don’t already, start following @VACareers on Twitter. On the day and time of the event, a host and group of VA National Recruiters will begin by tweeting and will be on standby to answer questions and address Tweets that use the correct hashtag. By using #WorkAtVA, you can follow the discussion and participate in it. You can also go back after the scheduled chat and reference tweets that are connected to #WorkAtVA.
Be sure to mark your calendars for Thursday, July 10th from 1:00-1:30 ET. We look forward to “tweeting” you then!
