Job Seekers’ Round Table for Thurs., June 23: Updated strategies on resumes and cover letters

This Thursday’s Roundtable: Updated Strategies on Resumes and Cover Letters for Mature Job Seekers
resume
Keeping abreast of the job seeking trends is a big part of staying in the game. How do we spot outdated resume conventions? Is a one-page resume best? Two pages? What should and shouldn’t be included in the work history? Objective Statement or Summary? We’ll also talk about sharing measurable achievements and infusing a “personal brand” into your letter, your resume, and your business cards.

Our new room for the summer is high ceilings, airy – and with windows! Please join us – and with the usual coffee and snacks, compliments of Central Market.

When:
Thursday, June 23
1:00-2:30pm

Where:
Shoreline Community College
Building 9000, Room 9202

Fall Convocation and Opening Week 2016 preliminary schedule

Dear Colleague,

I am looking forward to an exciting and meaningful time together for Fall Convocation! Please mark your calendar for an entire day of gathering and learning on September 14 and other professional learning events September 15-20. Fall Convocation and Opening Week will culminate with the first day of classes on September 21, 2016!

I want to thank the Fall Convocation group for their input and great ideas regarding Fall Convocation and Opening Week. We have great suggestions for professional learning opportunities at concurrent sessions on September 16th and 19th. Yvonne Ortiz of Avid for Higher Education will inspire us on September 16; Nature Walks and Construction project walkabouts will keep us well informed and, of course, welcoming our new employees and students is a top priority!

The DRAFT schedule can be downloaded here for your review. We will keep you informed as the schedule evolves.

Looking forward to a tremendous start to fall and our new academic year.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Roberts
President
