Programs for those looking for work
5:18 PM EDT 3/20/09
Hello all,
We are going to develop programs for job seekers, including topics such as posting a resume online, signing up for free email, looking for work online, etc. Has anyone already done this? Would you be willing to share your materials? Thanks in advance.

Here's a PowerPoint we developed for a job seeking class as well as some handouts I've created. They are local to our area here in the Pacific Northwest but many of these things can be easily updated with the relevant places in your area and many of the resources are national in scope.

The idea for the handouts were taken from the King County Look to Your Library campaign...

We also have curriculum for the following classes:
Intro to Computers, Intro to the Internet, Intermediate Inet, Word, Excel, Email, Beyond Google, Craigslist, and Ebay...
