Career Café of Bethesda

Are you in looking for more movement in your job search? You have come to the right place!

Led by kick-butt, nationally-renowned career expert and nurturing "job sage" Laura Labovich, this high-energy group is designed around a structured curriculum that promises to move job seekers forward in their campaign. As a former recruiter and HR leader at Walt Disney World and (the former) AOL Time Warner, Laura knows what it takes to get a job faster and how to leap ahead of the competition--and will show you how!

Details about the club:

Pre-Registration is strongly encouraged, so we can ensure seating for you!

At our meetings, you will:

Learn how to “package” your core message so it resonates and gets results,
Partner with other job seekers, receive some “pearls of wisdom” and obtain current, relevant resources,
Develop a supportive, encouraging network and cultivate relationships with job search "buddies,"
Immerse yourself in the most current job search and recruiting trends of today (social media: twitter/linkedin/facebook and others), and so much more!

Meetings are approximately 1.5 hours in length, and you are welcome to stay and continue the conversation with other job seekers!

Location:

Sandy Spring Bank, 611 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852

For additional questions, please contact Laura Labovich via email at: lauramichelle@gmail.com or phone at 703.942.9390.
