CAREER CAMP OFFERS JUMP START ON

JOBS WITH MARION COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

MARION COUNTY – Adults wanting to work for Marion County Public Schools are invited to a Career Camp to help polish their resumes and job skills in preparation for real-time interviews.

Tips on application assistance, face-to-face interaction, mock interviews, and developing your best “elevator pitch” and other facets of successful job searches will be offered to candidates taking part in the March 8 event set for 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. at three Marion County campus locations:

• Howard Academy (306 NW 7 Ave., Ocala, 34475)
• Legacy Elementary (8496 Juniper Road, Ocala, 34480)
• Marion Oaks Elementary (280 Marion Oaks Trail, Ocala, 34473)

Individuals taking advantage of these skill-building opportunities can leave the event “camp certified” and receive priority consideration within a streamlined process with school and district leaders when they hire new employees at the district’s Career Fair. That separate event is set for April 15 at Ocala’s World Equestrian Center.

The Career Camp is free and available to any adult wanting to be employed by MCPS. For more information, contact Nora Choquette in the MCPS Talent Development Office at Nora.Choquette@marion.k12.fl.us or 352.671.7877.
