Tips from the CT Department of LaborThe DOL's "Career Express" mobile career center was on site at the library yesterday afternoon. Many of you took advantage of expert advice from the DOL on everything from job searching on the Internet to writing a winning resume. If you missed the bus, here's but a few job search web sites recommended by the DOL:
CT Job Central (Connecticut Job Bank) ** Career Builder (Job listings) ** CT State Jobs and Exam Dates ** Jobs in Connecticut (CT classifieds) ** Yahoo Hot Jobs (job listings) ** FlipDog (job listings and resume) ** Academic360 (job listings for colleges, not restricted to teaching positions) ** Snag a Job (Hourly/part-time job listings) ** Indeed (searches multiple job sites) ** Dice Career Hub (technology job board).
The library also offers a variety of books about writing a resume (quick selection here); desk-top software to help you digitize or print it; and public fax service if you need to meet a deadline or a request from a potential employer.
