We offered our first ever,
Job Hunting Help computer class on January 22. Those of you who missed it can come to the Library's Technology Center on Tuesday, March 3 or Tuesday, April 7 from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. for additional sessions. The class will cover local walk-in resources for finding jobs, helpful resume-writing and interviewing books and a few of the most useful, accurate, and up-to-date websites, including job hunting specifically for South Bay Area jobs on
craigslist. Formatting resumes and uploading them via email will be demonstrated. Bring yours along for personal assistance. Students will have time for hands-on practice in this special two-hour class.
