College and Career Transition Center

By Walter Ruehlig, Room 18 has added a new dimension to its' already dynamic positioning as the College and Career Transition Center. A Career Center modeled along the lines of Amer-icas' Job Center (formerly called the One Stop Career Cen-ter) is now open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, or by appointment by calling Walter Ruehlig, PAEC's Workability Coordinator, at (925) 473-4395. Check job postings or browse through our career and community agency resource guides. Or you can seek more intensive one-on-one consultation with Walter on building a new resume or critiquing your old one. You can also ask for help on interviewing strategies or job search tips or learn more about vocational assess-ments, workshops and job-training resources available at America’s Job Center. We know how important and challenging getting the right job is. Obviously, when an employer typically spends only 10-30 seconds on a resume and 70% of an inter-viewer's decision is made within the first minute of meeting, separating yourself from the crowd is essential. We are eager to share proven strategies and techniques and support you on your career path. Come by and take advantage of the resources!
