Saturday, April 4th, Careers in transition is working on setting up virtual meetings starting with our April 4th meeting. We are in the process of securing 2 zoom accounts.  This will enable us to have our large group discussion as well as resume review.  We will provide more details on how to join the meeting as they become available to all of our groups.  The instructions will include how you can invite new members.  We are still working out some details of how the structure of the virtual meetings will differ from our regular meetings.  Hopefully everyone will understand as we work out the kinks during our first few meetings. Please monitor the group’s webpage at: Christ Church in Short Hills: Careers in Transition and your email for details as we approach April 4th.  Feel free to reach out to Glenn Resnicoff at 1-908-581-6874 or gresnicoff@gmail.com if you have questions or suggestions.
