Beyond Method #4

Clearly the message is that in order to be competitive in today's job search market, your computer skills MUST be competent at worst, sophisticated at best. I think the computer basics page from Goodwill Community is awesome. Easily understood and basic, it's a great place for the computer-hesitant to start.

A lot of the job search websites that the Finding Jobs pages from the TX Workskills Dev. in Libraries link to are quite cluttered. Heck YES you'd need to have good navigating skills, or I could see how some of these pages could be overwhelming.

At my library however, we are specialized (academic/medical) and so we do serve a clientele that is sophisticated and more intelligent than the average job searcher out there. We don't get too many job search questions. My past at the public library was filled with job seekers, however, and this page would be a great resource to have printed out and ready to hand out at the public library.
