Job Seekers’ Roundtable: The emails of Raqhav Haran, Author of “Land the Perfect Job”
job seekers roundtable

This Friday’s Roundtable: The Emails of Raghav Haran
I don’t remember how it happened, but I ended up on an email list by career coach and “Land the Perfect Job” author, Raghav Haran.

Sure, he has something to sell – you know, the DVDs and all – but he’s been very approachable and helpful,  returning my emails with suggestions and advice.

Interestingly, he never pressures me to buy his program. A very insightful guy with a deeper sense of what this career / job seeking thing is all about.

I sense that he’s a business guy who genuinely enjoys helping people become more secure about job hunting and interviewing.

I have kept most of the emails from Raghav and have asked him if he would not mind that I share a few of them as talking points for Roundtable – his response was very enthusiastically positive. How cool it would be to actually have him in person for a Roundtable!

But maybe this is second best to hosting Raghav in person: What I plan to do this Friday is hopefully get about 10 of you to Roundtable, and hand out different copies of his messages. Emails with titles such as: “Stop Settling on the Big Things in Life,” “What Separates the Top Performers From Everyone Else,” and “Why Won’t Anyone Be Honest With You?” And one of my favorites: “I Dyed My Hair Green and Orange in 4th Grade.” We’ll read the messages and go around about points made, have a few laughs, get some new insights in the process –  all this of course with the best coffee in Shoreline, compliments of Central Market.

So see you this Friday – and as always, Good Luck Out There!

When:
Friday, February 5
1:00-2:30pm

Where:
Room 5116, Building 5000 (ground floor)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love it or hate it? Feedback on Day at a Glance

art of communication
Hey campus community – we’re trying something new, and we need your feedback. What if we started rounding up all the events happening in one day into one post (like the one immediately below this post) so if you wanted to know what was happening on campus TODAY you would know by clicking on one post rather than scrolling and hunting through several? Would that be OK? Or do you prefer your posts À la carte?

Furthermore, what if we did a weekly digest that told you what was coming up each week and then also did a daily roundup each day? What would you think of that?

Also, do you like to see posts relevant to students so you can try and communicate and reinforce that info to them, or would you rather just see what’s relevant to you as an employee of the college?

We’d love to meet your communications needs, so please give us some feedback (seriously). Email thoughts, criticisms, suggestions, accolades, and anything we didn’t think to ask to Rachel in PIO at revans@shoreline.edu. We’ll take all your thoughts into consideration (and probably ask for more in the future) as we try to figure out how best to serve the campus community.

Thank you for your time!
