Jefferson County Library will launch a new online resource March 1st that offers job seekers live, one-on-one coaching sessions with certified career specialists and tutors. The Adult Career Center from Tutor.com includes live, one-on-one career coaching, including help writing or revising a resume, completing an online job application, or preparing for a job interview. Adults may also connect with a tutor for help with career retraining classes, preparing for the GED, or the citizenship test.
This online resource is available at the library or from home at no charge to residents and cardholders of the Jefferson County Library’s Fox-Windsor and Northwest subdistricts. You must have a valid JCL library card to access the resource. Those who live outside the active subdistricts may purchase a nonresident family card for $60 per year in lieu of property taxes paid to support the library. The nonresident card also may be paid in quarterly installments of $15.
The live, online coaching and resume writing service, and supporting resource library, is now available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week through the Jefferson County Library web site. JCL librarians have created a whole new portal on the web site called Job Seeking Resources, which includes the Adult Career Center from Tutor.com and other Database Resources, as well as numerous Internet Career Links to web sites with helpful information for job seekers. Go to the JCL web site at www.jeffersoncountylibrary.org and click on the Job Seeking Resources graphic in the slideshow at the center of the front page.
