ONE PERSON – MULTIPLE CAREERS WORKSHOP AT CONGRESS HALL
Fundraiser for Center for Community Arts
The Center for Community Arts presents a workshop led by journalist/author Marci Alboher based on her groundbreaking new book, One Person/Multiple Careers (Warner Books: 2007). The workshop will be held June 7, 2007 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the Harrison Room at Congress Hall. The cost is $20.00.
From realtor/chef to artist/entrepreneur and community activist/mom, few are able to describe themselves these days with a single word. This interactive workshop will highlight the gaining popularity of “hybrid” careers and how they can be the cure for many of today’s workplace woes including job insecurity, work/life conflict, and burnout. Alboher will address issues such as how to build a business while keeping a job and how to create business cards or web sites which reflect a multifaceted life.
“Combine careers and reinvent yourself,” says Alboher, who grew up on the Jersey Shore. The author/journalist/speaker popularized the term “slash” to refer to a new breed of individuals who can’t answer the question “What do you do?” without a series of slashes. After nearly ten years of practicing law, she used her law background as a springboard to a second career as a journalist. Her articles have appeared in numerous national publications including: Time Out, New York, Travel and Leisure. She has been a regular contributor to the New York Times since 2001 and currently writes the “Shifting Careers” column for The New York Times on the Web. Alboher is a popular teacher at the New York Writers Workshop, where she sits on the executive committee.
Ms. Alboher’s book will be on sale at the event and she will be available to sign books. The workshop fee of $20.00 is payable upon arrival. Contact the Center for Community Arts at (609) 884-7525 for more information.
Use of the Harrison Room and light refreshments are donated by Congress Hall. The Center for Community Arts receives operating support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, and received an operating grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission.
