From the Series: Nibbles of Knowledge

This training consists of 11 short videos -less than 10 min each- a handout, and a certificate
If you asked the people in your community what comes to mind when they think of your library, many might say “a resource for our community.” What better resource could you be than for those who have recently (or not so recently) been laid off – or for those who fear they soon will be? Or maybe they are just trying to find something “better.”
But what can we do? Most of us don’t have jobs for them even if they have a perfect resume. But here’s the catch – most of them don’t have even a close-to-perfect resume – and some have no idea where to start. If they do have a resume, there’s a good chance they think they can sit in front of a computer screen, submit dozens of resumes, and a job will magically appear. Employment experts are estimating that as many as 80% of the jobs being found during a downturn in our economy are found through networking, not through plastering your resume all over town, and that includes “cybertown"...
So, what can you do? You can help them create a resume that will get attention – and get them an interview!
