Students interested in film...

For your students involved in film and video, Seattle Center is pleased

to alert you to a summer film project that may interest them:


A Story Runs Through It neighborhood film project.


Students are invited to make a 3 minute film this summer about their
neighborhood - any neighborhood in the greater Seattle area - and submit
it to be considered for prizes and for a chance to be screened at A
Story Runs Through It film festival at Seattle Center this fall. This
project is part of Seattle Center's Next 50 activities celebrating the
50th Anniversary of the Seattle World's Fair.
Film submissions will be accepted through August 31. Two free
filmmaking workshops are also being offered, on June 16 and July 14.
Visit www.thenextfifty.org/filmproject  for info on submitting films and
on the free workshops.


We hope your students will join Seattle Center in celebrating Seattle area neighborhood stories this
year.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

Best wishes for a happy summer!

How to Turn a Summer Job into a Full-Time Gig

One great way to line up a new, permanent job is to hunker down and work hard at a part-time summer job. But how do you turn a great part-time summer job into a permanent one? Here are eight terrific ways:

Arrive early and stay late. This may sound old-fashioned, but arriving early and staying late will help you pass the first-impression test with your bosses and co-workers. It makes you look hungry for the job and is an obvious way to show your interest.

Find a mentor. Look for someone who will not only train you, but also guide you in the right direction. Find a mentor who can support you during your time in the job, as well as after you leave.

Talk to people from other departments during your breaks. Talk to key people - one by one - from each department during breaks or lunch and ask questions about their jobs. How did they get the job? Did they always know what they wanted to do? What are their secrets to a successful career?

Complete a special project. Look for a special project to take on, one you can start and finish during your short stay. This will create a story you can share on your résumé, as well as talk about during future job interviews.

Take a class or seminar. Plan ahead and find a course to take during the summer, one that will help you gain new knowledge or learn new skills to complement your work. See if you can negotiate to have your company pay for the class. Then offer to present what you learned at a staff meeting.

Visit customers or vendors. A summer job is about making money, getting work experience, and networking with industry professionals, so meet as many customers and vendors as possible. Offer to get food and drinks for a customer meeting and then ask if you can quietly sit in on the meeting. Just watch how business gets done - or not done.

Find new friends and offer to help. Work friends are important. This applies to anyone and everyone - outside your department, in the mailroom, or in the lobby. Practice saying "hi" to strangers and offer to help when you can.

Express interest. After the summer ends, don't leave without expressing interest in a permanent position. Not everyone asks, so if the experience was a good one, let your supervisor and others know you'd like to stick around. There's nothing wrong with doing this along the way, but it's generally better to stay focused and add value at first.
