Career Builder Workshop Provides Millennium Workers with Critical Interview Skills

SEAL BEACH, CA—Almost 1.8 million college students are projected to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in the Class of 2013. But they may have one more thing to learn before they venture into a competitive job market. A recent survey* reveals that hiring managers are three times more likely to hire a worker that is 50 or older than hire a millennial (age 31 or under)! One of the primary reasons cited by recruiters is a need for major improvement in the interview skills of new graduates. “This is a generation that is attached to a smart phone. To problem solve, to generate new ideas and have lasting impact requires face-to-face interaction—a skill lacking in the emerging workforce,” observes Crystal Rockwood, President of Rockwood Communications Counsel (RCC) of Seal Beach, Ca. For this reason, Rockwood and her team have developed the popular Career Builder Workshop, specially designed for new graduates seeking to enter the workforce. The two-hour workshop is focused on how to leave a good first impression both virtually and in person, with discussion on prepping and handling the interview and post-interview, how to make proper introductions, dressing for the workplace on a limited budget, building solid business relationships and more. Graduates seeking to improve their skills can attend the Career Builder Workshop, a two-hour training session which will be offered next on Wednesday, June 19. All workshops are held in Suite 300 of 3020 Old Ranch Parkway in Seal Beach. The registration fee is $199. A group discount of $149 per person will be applied at checkout for groups of three or more.
