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!

Join the GAC on Thurs., Jan. 14 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in the PUB 9208 for Dean Amy Kinsel’s talk, Immigration & Refugees: We’ve seen this Newsreel Before.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric has filled the airwaves during the early months of the 2016 presidential race, especially since Syrian refugees began pouring into Europe and terrorist attacks shook Paris, Beirut, and other places. But this rhetoric is not new. Despite its reputation for welcoming the “huddled masses” to our shores, U.S. immigration and refugee policies have served to shut doors to tens of thousands of desperate “tempest-tossed” people seeking safe haven from religious, political, and military strife.
In this talk, Dean Amy J. Kinsel shares some of the reasons the U.S. has shut the door to immigrants and refugees in the past and compares past American immigration and refugee policies to the situation today.
