From 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Broward County Human Resources Division will provide individual resume reviews. Participants can meet one-on-one with a human resources professional for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and receive specific feedback.

CareerSource Broward will lead a Professional Image and Etiquette session from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. Topics will include professional appearance, first impressions, email and phone etiquette, virtual communication and managing an online presence.
