There are many procurement adjacent roles that need great candidates in them at the State! So another suggestion would be to tell your friend... (🤣 make it easier for you, teach them to look for themselves and ask if you know anything about a job or department 😅). #IYKYK 1) Open the link. 2) Scroll down to the "Open Job Quick Links" section and use the links to browse jobs or filter open job listings into industry/ job areas that sound interesting. 3) Keep a current resume on file. You can store and update a resume using a link below the "Open Job Quick Links" making applying easier. 4) If you find a recruitment type that sounds good, let me know. It's easier keep a look out, for similar jobs. https://lnkd.in/e2vU9N9p

Opportunity neighborhoods, while well-intentioned, often overlook the importance of existing social networks and the reluctance many families have to leave their communities. Uprooting families can disrupt vital social networks that provide emotional and financial support (e.g., childcare), which are critical for long-term well-being. Additionally, simply moving to a more affluent area doesn’t guarantee access to relevant job opportunities or education, particularly when transportation infrastructure and local job markets don’t align with residents’ needs. Instead, it is important that we invest in the local infrastructure of under-resourced neighborhoods by improving schools, healthcare, public transportation, and job availability. This offers a more sustainable path to upward mobility, empowering communities to thrive without forcing relocation, preserving social ties and allowing residents to access better opportunities where they live.

Opportunity neighborhoods are areas with more job opportunities, low crime rates, higher quality schools and other characteristics that promote upward mobility. A new study in partnership with the Houston Housing Authority identifies where these areas exist in Houston: https://bit.ly/4dS4n9c
