press release:
South Seattle Community College’s Career Center, one of seven area WorkSource Affiliate sites, provides a wide range of employment-related services to students and the community, offering workshops, guidance, and counseling designed to produce positive job search results. Last year, over 30,000 employment services were provided to candidates, ranging from faxing resumes to career counseling.

The need for these services is particularly evident in this tough economic climate. WorkSource staff is seeing many laid off, experienced professionals who possess no current job search knowledge or skills.

The Center is open to the public and its computers, phone, fax and copy machine are available for use in job search. It also houses a career library with resume, cover letter and job search resources including books, video and audio tapes. Visitors may also utilize software and Internet sites to assess skills, practice interviewing, compose cover letters, and create resumes.

The following free workshops will be offered winter quarter:
