Former Washington Post editor to offer career coaching sessions

Jackie Jones, a former editor at The Washington Post and lecturer at Penn State University, will offer “spring cleaning” for careers in a four-week coaching session that starts April 5.

In sessions for up to eight people, career counselor Jones will discuss planning and assessing goals, updating plans and getting re-energized. The group will meet from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays, April 5 to 26, in the Bloomberg Classroom. The cost is $80 for members, $200 for non-members. Payment must be received in advance to reserve a slot, and there are no refunds. Because space is limited, participants must reserve at [email protected] or (202)662-7523.

No matter your current employment status, these sessions will help you plan and prepare for the next level of your career. Jones gives attention to getting people launched and remaining on track amid a changing industry, and targeting the work that plays to their strengths. After four weeks, you'll be recharged to finish your 2012 game plan, write a cover letter or target job searches.

The sessions are part of the Professional Development committee's efforts to expand career-building offerings for members.
