Church offers career group

La Jolla Presbyterian Church has launched The Boardroom - a new job search resource, support and network group.

The Boardroom is a place where those in career transition can share their experience with others facing the same challenges as well as work with career mentors, find resources, network, get resume and interview tips, understand the importance of online services and social networking, and make new friends.

The first meeting, in the church's Life Center, featured a career development speaker and lunch. The meeting was free.

For more information, contact TheBoardroom@pacbell.net or call Grace Decker at (858) 638-9103.
