Long Beach City College held a resume workshop at LAC’s library which focused on resume writing, cover letters, and necessary components to getting a job.
“Majority of students we work with are experienced with holding jobs, we’re helping them effectively articulate their value and skills,” job development coordinator Sean Foley said.
“We want to help students find the resources to get the jobs they want, need.”
The workshop provided one on one help to students who needed help with their resume.
LBCC student Carlos Del Real-Leyva attended the workshop to get professional help with his resume.
“It gave me a different perception in regards to my resume. Having a professional look at it really helped a lot,” Leyva said.
The career center also had a wide variety of resources students were able to use.
LBCC program specialist Ashleigh Smallwood said, “Students have access to career coach, career exploration, as well as an abundance of companies that students can get job opportunities or internships through.”
The Career Center at LBCC is currently partnered with up to 650 companies to help students find jobs or internships, including the Port Of Long Beach, Snapchat, Dignity Health, and United Airlines.
Students looking for jobs or searching for potential careers can utilize Career Coach on LBCC’s website.
Career Coach provides students with a six question or 60 question assessment, asking you about your interests. Based on how you answer the assessment, career coach will provide you with a list of jobs that match your interests.
Not only does Career Coach share information about potential jobs offers based off of your interests, but it also gives you access to live job postings, a job’s median salary and annual job openings.
If you wish to access these resources, visit the Career Center at LAC, A-1097 or PCC, EE-105.
