Few Seats Left for Career Coaching Sessions; Begins Jan. 13

A four-week career coaching session for up to eight participants starts Jan. 13 with career counselor Jackie Jones. The cost is $80 for National Press Club members, $200 for non-members.

A former Washington Post editor and Penn State University lecturer, Jones will focus on how to retool a career. She will cover planning career goals for the coming year, making reasonable resolutions and sticking with them to completion.

No matter your current employment status, these sessions will help you plan and prepare for the next level of your career.

Jones will empahsize getting back on track amid a changing industry and finding work that plays to your strengths. After four weeks, you'll be better focused to take your next steps in 2011, write a cover letter or target job searches.

The group will meet Thursdays, 6 to 7 p.m., Jan. 13 - Feb. 3 in the Eric Friedheim Library's Conference Room. Because space is limited, participants must reserve with Nicole Nottingham at [email protected] or 202-662-7523. Payment must be received in advance to reserve a slot, and there are no refunds.
