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.
