​​"I was fortunate to have heard about the August Open House being held at the Ft. Lauderdale downtown branch library, via twitter.  Upon my arrival, I was greeted and guided to the right location to have a representative from the human resources department review my resume and provide pointers for future employment with the county.  It was a wonderful experience to have met with Isabel Lopez and have her share her testimonial of herself being a recent hire and how she was able to make the transition from private to the public sector.  She coached me on the best visual formatting and key words that’d best describe my duties and responsibilities for the public sector.  Her assistance was very valuable and shortly thereafter, I was called in for an interview with the Record, Taxes and Treasury Division.  Who would’ve believed that in a short time, just weeks really, I’d be a part of the Broward County team."
