Greetings,
Here at Pratt Library we're now offering a Career Building Clinic in some of our computer labs. This is not a formal course, but rather an
opportunity for customers to work one-on-one with librarians and volunteers on things like job
searching, resume writing, cover letters and job applications. It's been a great success & our customers really appreciate the high level of individualized attention that they receive. Right now we're offering it one to two times per month but our plan in to increase the frequency in the coming months!
Is your library doing anything to provide a higher level of service to job seekers? Please share so we can all learn from each other!
