Employ Florida Marketplace Veterans' Web Portal

• Does a veteran need to register with both Employ Florida Vets and employflorida.com?

  While the veterans' web portal does not require a registration, the veteran would need to register on employflorida.com to access the portal's full benefits. The registration provides access to the complete job listings on EFM, and allows employers to find the veterans' resume and other pertinent information. 

• How am I notified of potential job matches, and how often?

  Once registered in EFM, a veteran will be contacted by CareerSource Center staff who are conducting job searches for veterans, receive automatic notifications of job announcements matching their skills and abilities and/or be contacted directly by employers who are looking for applicants with the veterans' skills and abilities. Veterans may also proactively search for jobs on Employ Florida Vets.
  
  The frequency of job notifications will depend on how often jobs fitting the veterans' skills and abilities become available.
