Job fair!

Credit: http://images.pcmac.org/Uploads/EscambiaCounty/EscambiaCounty/Sites/News/jobfair.gif

ezs note: This is a new feature for a transgender seeking new/better employment as a tool for better economic security. A few tips: 1) Dress professionally. If you need some pointers, Google here. 2) Speak professionally. Needless to say, no gum-chewing. No matter how many butterflies you may have, speak and act confidently. Need to speak proper English? Google here . 3) Do your freakin' homework. Nothing is worse than going from a bad situation to an absolutely horrible one. That goes double if you are transgender. Anyone can put 'LGBTs welcome' on a business card, but it's up to YOU to check it out. If you can, talk to a few employees. Check it out on Wikipedia. If you are considering a mid to major corporation, see the HRC Corporate Equality Index.
