Video testimonial sign-up: Help recruit new members and inspire your colleagues
At the upcoming Atlantic Tune Up, ACFO-ACAF invites you to help recruit new talent to the federal public service and inspire your fellow colleagues by providing a short video testimonial about your work.
We’re looking to interview ACFO-ACAF members about the following information from our members to help create a short promotional video:
- What does your everyday job look like?
- What’s your favourite part of working for your department or for the Government of Canada?
- What would you say to students who are hesitant to apply to the Government?
Participating in this video campaign is a great opportunity to:
- Be featured in a video that will be shared by TBS, on the ACFO-ACAF website, social media, and in promotional materials;
- Attract a new generation of talent to the federal government; and
- Re-energize your colleagues across the country by highlighting the sources of pride around the CT Community’s work.
If you would be interested in participating in the campaign, please visit the following link to sign up for a 20-minute timeslot at the Tune Up: https://acfo-acaf.swoogo.com/video
Timeslots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay in signing up!
For any questions about the shoot or the campaign, please contact ldoty@acfo-acaf.com.
Join us for a social mixer after the Tune up
To close off the day the right way, we will be hosting a social mixer from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM after the conference to allow you to network, chat more with fellow members and have an overall great time. The location will be announced later, but it will be walking distance from the venue.
Complimentary appetizers will be served and each attendee will receive two free drink tickets.
If you’re interested in attending the mixer, please RSVP by contacting Lia Bosquet (lbosquet@acfo-acaf.com) with your name, department and any dietary restrictions.
We hope to see you there!
