Friday’s Roundtable (1/15): Hiring Event: Krista Baker from Big 5 Sporting Goods.
This FREE event is in the Workforce Education office (bottom floor FOSS, 5000 bldg.) from 1-2:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 15.
With spring around the corner (yes, it really is!), Big 5 is gearing up for outdoor sports: Fishing, biking, canoeing, rafting, camping, etc. Big 5 is one of the country’s biggest retailers for sporting goods and accessories. Whether you are a career-minded professional looking for management opportunities, a sales or cashiering specialist looking for full-time employment, or a student looking for an exciting part-time job, Big 5 has an opportunity for you. Come by and meet Big 5’s Krista Baker, who will answer questions about applying and which stores are looking for great customer service and other positions.
Also, let’s take a look at our LinkedIn pages. Are you letting your contacts know what you do? Who you are? What you can bring to the table? Let’s talk about some great examples.
Coming in March: Most of us have been to Trader Joe’s. You have probably noticed that the customer service folks are always friendly and helpful. My guess is employees are treated right, and TJ’s is a fun place to work. Good pay, benefits, the works. Did you know that the Shoreline Trader Joe’s is about to open on 175th near Aurora? The new store’s Captain will be on hand to talk about careers, who they hire, when and why. We don’t yet know which Friday he’ll be by, but when I find out, this will be a sign-up Roundtable. I will keep you posted.
See you Friday – and as always, Good Luck Out There!

ORCA cards are on sale and available for purchase now through Feb. 17. ORCA cards, the regional transit pass, are available to most students at Shoreline Community College. You can purchase yours by heading to the Cashier’s Office in the second floor of the 5000 building (FOSS). Remember to bring payment, photo ID and proof of registration.
The price of the prepaid cards are subsidized through a program funded by a student fee called the Sustainable Commuting Options Fee (SCOF). The program is intended by student government to help make the program easy to use and available to most students possible.
Shoreline’s ORCA card program is simple:
- For $125, a registered student can buy a $200 ORCA ePurse card.
- The student receives an ORCA card that is immediately usable for as long as there is still money on it.
- The $75 difference is covered by a subsidy funded by the SCOF fee.
An ORCA card is the equivalent of having cash that can be used on all Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro Transit, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit and Washington State Ferries.
For more information on how to get your pass and the guidelines surrounding its use, click here.
