About

Latter-day Saint Employment Services operates a San Diego employment center at 8902 Highwood Drive in San Carlos, CA 92119, offering career counseling, resume development, interview coaching, and job-lead referrals at no cost to participants regardless of religious affiliation. The center is part of a global network of employment resources administered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Highwood Drive location serves job seekers across San Diego's eastern communities. One-on-one sessions with volunteer employment advisors cover job-search strategy, networking techniques, and salary negotiation, while group workshops address resume formatting, LinkedIn optimization, and industry-specific application processes. The center's skills development referrals connect candidates with training programs at nearby institutions including Mathnasium for quantitative skill building and other vocational resources in the San Carlos area. Highwood Drive sits in a residential pocket east of Lake Murray, and the center draws participants from the 92119, 92120, and 92115 ZIP codes who commute via Navajo Road or Jackson Drive. The employment center model emphasizes self-reliance coaching that extends beyond initial placement, helping participants set 90-day career milestones and build networks that outlast the counseling engagement. Walk-in and appointment-based scheduling accommodates both active job seekers and employed individuals pursuing career transitions. The San Carlos location serves as the primary Latter-day Saint employment resource for San Diego County, positioned along the Navajo Shopping Center commercial corridor that anchors foot traffic on Navajo Road and Jackson Drive. Cowles Mountain's proximity draws a mix of participants from San Carlos, Del Cerro, and Allied Gardens who access the center after dropping children at school or running errands along the Lake Murray Boulevard retail strip. Wheelchair-accessible parking and a ground-level entrance ensure the facility meets ADA standards for all visitors.
