The Postal Service is hosting local career conferences for USPS employees through Aug. 30.
More than a dozen conferences are scheduled across the nation with the theme of “Own Your Path to Success.”
Each event will include networking opportunities and interactive sessions. Attendees will also have the chance to receive a professional headshot.
Attending a career conference can be the first step of a new and satisfying career path, according to Jenny Utterback, the Postal Service’s organization development vice president.
“At USPS, we are developing talent in many areas. We provide unparalleled opportunities for internal mobility and advancement,” she said.
Past attendees have found the event’s sessions help enhance skills, increase their visibility within the organization and keep them informed about potential career paths.
“Last year, I attended sessions on writing KSAs and interview tips. It gave me the edge I needed to promote from acting supervisor to supervisor of customer service just a few months later. Now it’s my turn to encourage employees to attend,” said Joseph McCarthy, a customer service supervisor in Plymouth, MA.
The career conferences are open to all Postal Service employees; attendance is voluntary and must be off the clock.
Employees can access rsvpBOOK, the website for events information, through Blue or LiteBlue by selecting the “Career Conferences” banner.
The secure rsvpBook website offers a list of available dates and locations, along with information on registration.
