Lone Star College-Tomball Seminars Help Job-Seekers

Published on: January 25, 2013

Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library and Workforce Solutions are presenting two free seminars designed to give job-seekers an edge in today’s competitive job market.

“Creating a Resume/Completing the Application” (February 6, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.) is a two-hour seminar on how to best present yourself on paper to potential employers.  Preparation, identifying skills and experience, matching them to the job, and presenting them in a compelling manner are just some of the topics to be discussed.  This seminar will be held in the Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library (Room L-256).

“Interviewing” (February 20, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.) is a two-hour seminar on how to best present yourself to potential employers.  Dressing for success, gathering background information on an employer, and preparing for commonly asked questions are just some of the topics to be discussed.  This seminar will be held in the Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library (Room L-207).

Both seminars will be followed by one-hour resume labs (3:00 - 4:00 p.m.).  Lab participants will need their library cards to log in to the computers (for those without a card, a temporary card can be issued) and a jump/flash drive to save their resumes.

For more information or to register for the seminars, call the Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library Reference Desk at 832.559.4211.  LSC-Tomball is located at 30555 Tomball Parkway, at the intersection of State Highway 249 and Zion Road.
