Job Resources and More at the Library

Hi All,

Just a quickie post about some job resources. The Occupational Outlook Handbook is a resource that we've used at the library for years and years.

The book has chapters on various fields that employees can work in. For example, there are chapters on job in fields as varied as management, professional, service, sales, administrative and more. Under each job summary are headings for 'Nature of the Work', 'Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement', 'Employment', 'Job Outlook', 'Projections', 'Earnings', 'Wages', 'Related Occupations' and 'Sources of Additional Information'.

This is a fantastic, wonderful, amazing, concise, accurate, helpful, free resource that every prospective job seeker should consult upon starting a job search.

Click here to go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to access the Occupational Outlook Handbook.

Finally, the library has a wonderful resource on Wednesday nights'. We have a program called the Career and Education Resource Center. Basically this is one-on-one help with our professional career counselor. Interested parties can call the library at 249-9090 and ask for the reference desk to make an appointment. Appointments last for one hour and start on Wednesday nights at 5pm, 6pm, 7pm or 8pm. Click on this link for more information and more job resources from the library website.

Now, get to work and use this resource or call the library!

Regards,
Stu
