Are you looking for a new job or a career change, or ramping up your summer job search? The New Westminster Public Library is here to help get your job hunt off on the right foot.
Need help with some digital job-hunting skills?
Get in touch with the library to see if there are still spots left for the program Getting Started: Resumé Writing and Online Job Searching on Sunday, June 18 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Registration is required to attend, so call 604-527-4665, email [email protected] or visit the library in person to register while space is still available.
Please note that basic computer skills, such as basic keyboarding and mouse skills, are required to participate.
The library has a wealth of print and online resources in its collection to help you polish up your resumé and cover letter. Talk to a librarian, who can direct you to the 650.14 section of the collection, which houses the bulk of our resumé and job search books. With literally hundreds of titles to choose from, you’re sure to find something that suits your needs.
If you can’t make it in to the library, check out our online job resource page. This curated collection of links will give you leads on specific career opportunities, volunteer openings, and labour market information.
To access these resources, visit nwpl.ca, then click the purple Resources button in the top right-hand corner. Once on the Resources page, then click Jobs & Careers in the left-hand sidebar.
You’ll also find online education resources like Lynda.com, which can teach you technology skills through video tutorials, helping you to add digital skills to your resumé and give you a leg up on job openings.
Whether you are new to the job market or are looking for a career change, the New Westminster Public Library and its partner organizations are here to help you find the job of your dreams.
