We are pleased to announce that Shoreline Community College students, alumni, and employees now have access to the free financial literacy resource SALT. This online program provides students with advice on paying for college, tips for making smarter money decisions, simple budgeting tools, advice on finding scholarships, and more. But you don’t have to be a student to benefit; anyone can take advantage of the program to help manage their existing student loan debt or to increase their financial IQ in general.
Launched on Shoreline’s campus in summer 2016, SALT is a free resource aimed at improving financial literacy overall and empowering everyone to better understand, manage, and ultimately pay off student debt.
Explore all the SALT program has to offer and take charge of your financial future by starting a free account today at: saltmoney.org/shoreline.

Terra Staffing employment specialist and recruiter, Sarah Hoffman will join the conversation at Shoreline Community College’s Job Seekers’ Roundtable this Thurs., Aug. 4 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the PUB 9202. Sarah will impart details about Terra, what you might expect during a placement interview, and who’s hiring. Word is that office staffing companies are at the very least even with requests for workers and numbers of workers to be hired. So it’s a strong possibility that if you need something fast in the temp or temp-to-perm sphere, Terra could be your last stop.
Please bring your resume – and that cover letter we polished up last week to the PUB 9202 from 1-2:30 p.m.
This is a great opportunity to get placed! As always, coffee and light refreshments are on hand, compliments of Central Market.
P.S. – August is a strong month for Roundtable. Here’s what’s coming up:
• 8/11: Tiffany McVeety: “4 Factors of Entrepreneurial Goal Setting?”
• 8/18: Annie Conklin: “How My Home-Based Business Took Off”
• 8/25: Tiffany Lamoreaux: “Applying for Jobs in the 21st Century”

A recurring topic for Roundtable, but always a subject on everyone’s mind.
Age discrimination is alive and well in the U.S., but there are strategies mature job seekers can employ to improve their chances of overcoming it. Please join the discussion this Thursday as we address unspoken biases, making the best out of veiled ageist lines of interview questioning, looking the part, and fighting the fear! As always with light refreshments, courtesy of Central Market.
See you this Thursday, and as always – Good Luck Out There!

Thursday, July 28 from 1:00-2:30pm

Join us Thurs., July 21 from 1-2:30 p.m. in the PUB, Room 9202 for a Job Seekers’ Roundtable tackling cover letters.
I’ve seen plenty of letters that seem like they were lifted right off the Internet and don’t address very well the requirements to whatever job position the candidate is applying. Responding to an ad? Before whisking off our resume and letter, we need to make sure we’ve studied the ad to determine how our qualifications match the employer’s requirements. Armed with this information, you can craft a cover letter that positions you as the ideal candidate.
There’s a great method afloat and I’ll show you what it’s about!
We’ll go through a near perfect example of a customized cover letter and discover what those who are selected for interviews are doing, what they aren’t, and why.
Bring your letter on a thumb drive, or email it to me (rcarnell@shoreline.edu), and we’ll project a few and go through them.
