Seattle Career Center Opening in Bryant as Local Unemployment Surges

Seattle, WA, April 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Just as it is needed the most, the Seattle Career Center opens its new location at 5758 35th Avenue NE. According to the Washington State Employment Situation Report for February, almost 300,000 people in Washington are looking for a job. Washington State’s unemployment rate for February was higher than it has been since June of 1985 at 8.4 percent.

During these tough times, more job seekers are turning to professionals to help them land their next position. Meghan Quint, founder of the Seattle Career Center, says, “Now more than ever, clients are relying on us to manage their careers, reach their goals and find success.” The center’s mission is to promote lifelong learning and ongoing professional development, offering support for people at all stages of their career. However in the current economic climate, the Seattle Career Center has a renewed dedication to helping unemployed clients replace desperately needed jobs. “We teach job seekers how to stand out in this competitive market,” says Quint.

And competitive it is. February marks the second consecutive month when the state unemployment rate was higher than the nation’s, and the future outlook is grim. Yet, maybe there remains hope with the help of service providers, such as the Seattle Career Center.
