Friday Round Table: The Engaging Resumé

This Friday (9/18): The Engaging Resume

We have talked a lot about style and grammar, tenses punctuation, etc. We’ve also talked about the non-human methods of reviewing resumes, Applicant Tracking Systems. This week we’ll hit on how thinking of your resume is more an advertisement for you, simplifying information, and trying on for size some drills in “sound biting.” Also: editing, editing, editing. Refining the art of Less is More!

There will of course be plenty of time for other questions regarding interviewing, cover letters, and what’s coming up between now and the end of the year. As always, great coffee from Central Market, with dunking treats.

Friday, September 18, 1:00-2:30pm, Shoreline Community College, Room 5116, Building 5000 (ground floor).  SCC Campus Map and Parking Info. All job seekers are welcome.

Coming up

We’re busy getting resumes tight for upcoming recruiters and other job possibilities. On board in the near future for Round Table: 9/25 will bring us Sue Putnam from Terra Staffing, and next month, we’ll have a recruiter from Costco letting us know about the ins and outs on landing a good paying job there. We’re heading to the seasonal employment phase of the year, and these opportunities sometimes turn into permanent positions. Be ready!

Also coming in October: Paul Valenti from Seattle Mayor’s Office for Senior Citizens. A dynamic, entertaining speaker, Paul will share his story of how he went from literally Zero, to working as a Hawaiian legislator, and later, one of Seattle’s most connected job connections for older workers. Keep Friday, 10/23 open for Paul, this one is reservation sign-ups only!
