This two-part online class will be held on January 24 and 31, 2013 from 1:00 - 2:00 pm. Students must attend both sessions.
This class will help prepare you to assist job seekers in your library.
The course will focus on:
- the new rules for creating effective resumes
- how to create a resume using MS Word and how to customize a resume for online job applications
- how to utilize LinkedIn and other online job resources
- assisting users on saving their resume in an accessible method for future access (Cloud-computing/USBs, etc.)
Between classes, attendees will each be asked to work on a project useful to them - or one suggested in class. One-on-one assistance with the instructor will be provided during this time.
This class will be delivered online. Log-in information will be emailed approximately one week before the course.
