Finding Jobs page from the Texas Workskills Development in Libraries is very helpful and fairly easy to use. The blog on networking and videos were very helpful, I discovered BranchOut on facebook which I hadn't known about. It is very similiar to linkedin which they would also link to. The blog had some interesting ideas. Lots of helpful advice for a wide variety of persons looking for work (laid-off, new or returning, switching) Tutorials and classes are given.
The workintexas site is not as user friendly as it should be as so many users of the site are not computer savy.
But let's face it, job hunting is a time consuming project that many people aren't willing to sit down and spend the time doing. It is a day after day search until you get a job.
Really liked the Goodwill page of free online classes. They offered a wide variety of classes that would be very helpful for many of our patrons not just those looking for employment. I've shared this information with many of our staff already.
We have a handout for job seekers and could offer classes in job searching,
