This Fri., May 1 join us for a Job Seekers’ Roundtable discussion on ageism in the interview process. As always, the Rountable meets in FOSS room 5116 from 1-2:30 p.m.
You’ve heard it before: “But age discrimination is against the law!”
It sure is. But employers still do it. And they can be pretty crafty. Another side to this is: Someone hired with just five years left before retiring, is more likely than a new 20 or 30-something hire to stay with the same employer for that amount of time. This is just one of the many positives for older job searchers.
Please join us this Friday (5/1), as Edmonds Senior Center Director, Farrell Fleming joins Ron Carnell with a discussion on the realities of ageism in the job search, and how we can put aspects of age in our favor. Farrell and Ron will share strategies on detecting employer age profiling, the types of methods often used to reveal age, and how to counter them. This is Ron’s third ageism workshop over the past couple years, and the discussions and stories are always intriguing and informative. Last time we featured this topic, it filled up fast!
So please respond to: rcarnell@shoreline.edu to save yourself a place at the “Round Table.” As always, great coffee and treats, compliments of Central Market will be on hand.
These roundtable discussions are sponsored by the Plus 50 program but all are welcome! See you Friday – and as always, Good Luck Out There!

Earth Week 2015 continues Fri., April 24 with another great lineup of events. Join us for one of the following:
Friday, April 24
“Poisoned Waters” film showing in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) from 12:30-1:20 p.m. “Poisoned Waters” is a Frontline documentary that examines the conditions that lead to water contamination and the danger contamination poses to human health.

Q+A session to follow the film will be led by Professor Chip Dodd.
Campus Sustainability Options Workshop in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208) from 1:30-2:20 p.m.
This workshop will address what it means to operate sustainably, how our campus could become more sustainable, and what we might do to reach this goal. This workshop will be led by Stian Myraas chair of SCOF (Sustainability and Commuter Options Fee) group.
This event will be followed from 2:20 – 2:30 p.m. by the Art Exhibit Awards. The art that receives the most votes in each category (2D, Sculpture, and Sculptures made during Earth Week) will be awarded a State Parks Pass prize.
Innis Arden/Lower Boeing Creek Nature Walk, 2:30-4:30 p.m. Meet in the PUB parking lot. Join Professor Matt Loper as he continues the exploration of the woods and wetlands that surround our college and follows Boeing Creek as it makes its way to Puget Sound. Learn more about native plant uses as well as the controversies over the control of Boeing Creek’s waters as it flows its last mile to the Sound, nurturing a small run of Chum salmon. We will travel to and from lower Boeing Creek on the campus shuttle.
Saturday, April 25
Upper Boeing Creek Watershed Work Party, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Meet in front of the gate to the track (East end of campus). Due to an overuse of the area directly behind the track by residents who allow their dogs to run off leash, the restoration work will concentrate on planting natives and moving woody debris next to the new plants to help protect them from being trampled by wayward dogs. Some invasive plant removal may also take place. This activity will be led by Professors Matt Loper and Chip Dodd. Please bring with you a water bottle, thick gloves, work boots, long sleeved shirts and pants, and if you have them shovels, pruners, and hand clippers. Some refreshments will be provided.

Interviewing for work is a tough business. Some of the pitfalls for not winning over the selection panel or HR reps are real, while others may be our imagination getting the best of us. We have to ask good questions based on what we know about the workplace, and meet their questions with concise and thoughtful answers. All the while remembering to curb enthusiasm, anxiety and to never appear too hungry.
Join us this Fri., April 24 in FOSS 5116 from 1-2:30 p.m. for a FREE talk by author, Compassionate Communication Trainer and life coach, Moreah Vestan. Topics covered in this workshop that job seekers can apply to interviewing include:
–How to connect at interviews or when you fill out an application
-How to deal with disappointment and frustration over job hunting
-How to manage difficult interactions with family, friends, at work, etc.
Moreah brings 11 years’ experience in communication training, and has much wisdom to share about maximizing your impact at the interview. There are also tips on choosing how to react, which benefits not only the interview process, but every area of your job search.
Not to be missed! Also the usual great coffee and other delights, compliments of Central Market.
See you Friday – and as always – Good Luck Out There!
