Need to Market Yourself Better? Check Out the Job Seekers Roundtable Feb. 27 for Tips!

lee mozenaThe Plus 50 program is thrilled to bring Lee Mozena of Zena Consulting to campus this Friday, Feb. 27 to participate in a Job Seekers roundtable discussion about personal branding.

When it comes to your own life you are marketing your personal brand every single day, whether you realize it or not. Marketing is how you present yourself to those around you and what you consistently offer to them. The work you do along with your own networks and friends are professional resources others can potentially utilize. When marketing yourself, it’s about consciously building that experience so that you can effectively get what you want in return from your life.

Lee Mozena of Zena Consulting will share personal branding ideas and give examples of how your brand can best stand out among the rest. Feel like you’ve got your personal brand down? Tell your students about this opportunity to learn to more effectively market themselves to employers.

More details of Lee’s services are found on her Linkedin page at:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/leemozena

Great conversation and networking opportunities (along with quality coffee and snacks, compliments of Central Market) await you!

When: Friday, February 27, 1:00-2:30 p.m.
Where: Shoreline Community College, Room 5116, Building 5000 (ground floor)

Global Affairs Center Presents Myths of Globalization, Feb. 26

As part of the No One’s World Series, Shoreline’s Global Affairs Center presents “Myths of Globalization,” a symposium on globalization featuring Dr. Matthew Sparke of the Geography Department and The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington.

Is globalization new, inevitable and creating a “level playing field” or “flat world” where all share in its benefits, as some believe? Professor Sparke argues that these are myths, that reality is sometimes very different and that there are alternative paths to globalization.

Check out “Myths of Globalization” in the PUB Quiet Dining Room, 9208 Thursday, Feb. 26 from 7-8:30 p.m. This event is free to the public.
