Employment Support Group Guest Speaker - November 11, 2013

Local Employment Support Group

The Gaithersburg Presbyterian Church (GPC) Employment Support Group provides a supportive Christian environment for those who are unemployed, about to be unemployed, underemployed, or seeking a career change. The group meets twice a month, second Monday and fourth Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in Room 202, is free, confidential,  and open to the public. Meetings last about an hour.

All are welcome!
 

Facilitated by lay members with support from other job seekers, the meetings begin and end with prayer and include roundtable discussions on each person’s situation, then group discussions on employment resources, job hunting techniques, networking, and interviewing. We bring Jesus into employment-related decisions to encourage each other and meet both practical and spiritual needs.
