Journalists in Transition: Mondays in October

The nature of work in American life is changing dramatically, and you must be prepared to address it. Layoffs and buyouts are a major part of the landscape, and you can learn to manage it or be managed by it.

Join veteran journalist and career coach Jackie Jones (www.jonescoaching.net) for a four-week course. Different topics will be addressed in each two-hour session:

-- Better manage your current situation, while you plan your next step

-- Decide whether a buyout really is for you and what to do if you take it

-- Find out how to stay in the industry or translate skills to a new career

-- Use sourcing, networking and other tools to create the career you want.

Dates: Monday, October 6; Tuesday, October 14; Monday, October 20 and Monday, October 27

Time: 6-8 p.m.

Place: Eric Friedheim Library Classroom

Cost: $40 for the four-session program for NPC members; $80 for non-members

Classes are limited to 15.

RSVP required. Call (202) 662-7507, or email Julie Schoo at [email protected]
