Join us Thurs., July 16 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the ground floor of the FOSS building for a Job Seekers’ Roundtable focusing on applicant tracking software and how resumes are sorted.
Today’s job seekers need to spend the time to make sure that our professional resumes can get by the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which is the software that reads your resume and ranks it according to keywords. Today about 65% of medium to large companies are now using Applicant Tracking Systems and this has created a nightmare for job seekers. In fact, a recent study indicated that about 75% of qualified job seekers are being eliminated because they do not know the rules.
We’ll share some of the do’s and don’ts with the usual treats and beverages. Bring your resume on a thumb drive, as we’ll broach other topics to do with resumes.

Join us Thurs., July 9 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the ground floor level of FOSS (5000 bldg.) for this week’s Job Seekers’ Roundtable on how to correctly format your resume.
Nobody can ever underestimate how important it is to have a good resume. First impressions count, and the first impression that a potential employer will have of you is going to depend on how you present your resume. This is going to be your one and only chance to capture a potential employer’s attention, or for your resume to be tossed into the file of those they don’t want to pursue. And this is where resume formatting becomes exceptionally important.
So what makes a well-formatted resume stand out? In a nutshell, not so much the minutia of every job you’ve held over the past 10 or so years, but the precision and readability of your work history. Get rid of the fluff or “resume padding.” Proof for correct grammar. Make good use of white space. All these tips will be covered and more.
See you this Thursday! Please bring your resume and share some tips over iced tea and other treats compliments of Central Market.
And as always: Good Luck Out There!

Join us for the opening reception for Pho to gra phs., an exhibit of work from SCC’s student, staff and faculty photographers now showing in the PUB gallery on campus at Shoreline Community College. The reception is Thurs., June 25 from 3-5 p.m. in the PUB gallery. The reception will include light refreshments, and hand bound publications of the exhibit will be available for sale.
The Photo Club fully encouraged and supported Pho to gra phs. by conducting mat cutting workshops and best presentation practices. Frames and other materials were provided through grant funding from SCC’s Student Leadership Center to ensure that the cost of materials would not discourage any students from participating. They hope to make this gallery show an annual event.
Pho to gra phs. will be showing in the gallery in the Pagoda Union Building on campus at Shoreline Community College from now until August 14. Gallery hours are Mon-Thurs, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Join us this Thurs., June 25 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the Workforce Education Center on the ground floor of FOSS (5000 building) for a FREE talk on cover letters.
When you find a job you’d like to apply for, how do you approach writing your cover letter? If you’re like most people, it’s with a groan of apprehension rather than a skip and hop of elation. But you don’t have to be a wordsmith to write a great cover letter, you just need to understand what motives the employer has in hiring for the position.
Please join us as we discuss, show off and strategize our cover letters. (Bring your best letter!) Professional editor, Mary Keils, will be on hand to offer her expertise. We’ll of course have coffee and treats available, compliments of Central Market. Have a friend or family member looking for work? Please bring them along!
And as always, Good Luck Out There!

Join us this Thurs., June 18 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the ground floor of the FOSS building (5000) for this week’s Job Seekers’ Roundtable. We’ll tackle how to dress for an interview during the hotter and sometimes more casual months of summer with a workshop by Myriam Mampengu, an Employment Specialist with Goodwill of Puget Sound.
A fun one to kick off summer: When we think of job interview preparation, a common rule of thumb is to investigate the dress code of the potential workplace, and dress equal or just a notch above those doing the interviewing. However, the workplace culture of the Pacific Northwest has been described as unique from the rest of the country (especially in summer!), not only with attire, but also expression, diversity, use of office space, breaks, and employee interaction, to name just a few.
Employment Specialist, Goodwill of Puget Sound, Myriam Mampengu, will share insights on how workplaces have evolved in these areas, and what to consider on how to assimilate with younger workers. Please join us for some coffee, iced tea and discussion as we consider Pacific Northwest workplace culture.
