jlutherMemberMy name is Joseph Luther and I am looking to form a West Seattle over 40 job hunters group to meet once a week at the new QFC’s Starbucks area in the Junction.
The intent is to create a group you can come and let your frustrations out, give support and be yourself while your looking for a new job. All you need to do it but yourself cup of coffee and share your stories.
Date 2/1/10 at 2pm at the new QFC’s Starbucks in the Junction.

KevinParticipantNo need to re-invent the wheel Joseph – Notes from the Job Search has been meeting right here in West Seattle since March of 2009. Below is our weekly announcement that we post on craigslist and Digital Eve.
Notes From the Job Search is a group of individuals who gather weekly to discuss job search topics and compare notes with other local job seekers. Did you know that only a VERY small percentage of jobs available, are actually advertised? Helping you tap into the “hidden” job market is just one of the things we do.
Weekly topics include resume reviews, mastering the elevator pitch, using online networking resources such as Linkedin, and more! The meetings usually run around 90 minutes, and everyone is encouraged to actively participate! No need to dress up – come as you are. We have nothing to sell! Our services are FREE!
This is NOT a job fair. While you will probably NOT find a job at one of the meetings, we GUARANTEE that you WILL walk away from each meeting with a few new job search skills, a better resume, encouragement from your fellow group members, perhaps a few new network connections, and sometimes even a job lead!
We continue to “lose” members as they find new positions, and we are always happy to see them leave. Please consider attending one of our meetings and see how we can be of assistance to you in your job search.
Currently we meet:
Tuesdays at C and P Coffee in West Seattle at 11 AM
5612 California Avenue Southwest
Seattle, WA 98136
—
Wednesdays at Greenwood Sip and Ship / Green Bean Coffee in Greenwood at 3PM
Greenwood Sip & Ship is located at 8560 Greenwood Ave. N

Thursdays at Jitters Coffee in Overlake at 1PM <— NEW location!
Jittters Coffee is located at 15010 NE 20th, Bellevue / Overlake

jlutherMemberMorning Kevin
Thank you for that information, and I will check out the one on Tuesday. I will go to my event on Monday, and see if there is interest. Nothing wrong with offering people choices.
