Use the research computers in the library for free access to job hunting and career research, with no time limit. On the main page of these computers, click Job & Career Kiosk for a quick list of top starting points.
New in the list: JobScout – take lessons, earn badges, and learn basic Internet skills to find a job. Many employers these days expect online job applications or e-mailed resumes. We recommend JobScout for your friends who need to get up to speed on the Internet in order to apply for jobs!
Ask a librarian to show you the location of the research computer at any regional library.
You can also browse our list of career resources anytime, by going to the Careers & Jobs page on our website.
