The library is busier than ever these days, and we're seeing many people come in to use the Reference Department computers and books for job hunting.
In addition to an increasing collection of career books, we also have a useful database for those in the the job market: LearningExpress Library.
LearningExpress Library database is a great place to look for practice tests and study guides for a variety of exams. It's much more than that, though.
An entire section of the LearningExpress Library database is devoted to workplace and job search skills. For the job search, it includes courses such as:
- Creating great resumes and cover letters
- Job search and networking skills
- Determining what you want from your career
There are also some courses geared toward business writing, and a section entitled "Succeeding on the Job" with information on managing your career and improving professional skills such as time management.
LearningExpress Library also includes study guides and practice tests for job-oriented exams for real estate, law enforcement, teaching, firefighting, military, cosmetology, and more.
You can find the LearningExpress Library on the library's database page. If you want to use this from your home computer, click on the listing for LearningExpress Library, then type in the last 5 digits of your library card barcode (found on the back of the card). You can also use the database within the library. If you have any questions, please give us a call (603-589-4611) or stop by the reference desk for assistance.
