THE RECORDER

THE PORTERVILLE RECORDER

The Porterville Public Library has launched LearningExpress Job and Career Accelerator, a comprehensive online job search system designed to facilitate the job seeking process.

According to a June 23 library press release, the online program is available at no charge to library users who have a library card. It can be accessed from the library or from any Internet-enabled computer by visiting www.portervillelibrary.org.

The system provides personalized, step-by-step assistance for job seekers at all experience and education levels.

The program will allow job seekers to explore and match suitable occupations from over 1,000 detailed occupation profiles and to find open jobs in their area from a database of over 5 million up-to-date job postings, the release said.

Users will be able to create professional resumes and cover letters, learn interviewing and networking techniques, improve work-related skills and prepare for exams related to their occupation.

The tool will help job seekers to plan, modify and track multiple job searches at the same time while receiving advice and tips during each step.

For more information about accessing the Job and Career Accelerator, call 784-0177.
