FVRL launches “Get Job Help @ Your Library” services
A co-worker of us ladies at Dick Hannah Honda found this great information……..
Job seekers have new resources available to them at Fort Vancouver Regional Library District locations, thanks to a grant-funded Get Job Help @ Your Library program that began in February.
Helpful tools include a live-chat job coaching and résumé review service; résumé-writing software; an online service to help users explore career options; extra time on computers; classes on creating and polishing résumés and cover letters; and, beginning April 1, free use of netbook computers (small laptops) in select libraries.
FVRL received $48,420 as one of 17 Washington public libraries awarded a Renew Washington grant by the Washington State Library in late 2009. The purpose of the grant program is to address the needs of people needing access to employment-related information, resources and services. The Renew Washington grant program is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
A full summary of the Get Job Help @ Your Library resources is available at www.fvrl.org/findinfo/GetJobHelp.cfm.
