Job Help Day returns! 

Seven Central Ohio libraries have teamed up to offer another Job Help Day @ Your Library on Thursday, March 18. The event will feature job-related presentations, programs, demonstrations and expert speakers at different library locations throughout Central Ohio.

Have your resume reviewed by experienced career advisors, get help with job search strategies, and learn interviewing techniques that will put you ahead of the pack.

You can always find great career resources at the Library—books, online resources, computer & Internet access, free resume software, industry and company information, or acquiring new skills. In today's economy, these resources are more in demand than ever.

These programs are free and open to the public. Attend one or all of these great Job Help workshops at the Grandview Library on Thursday, March 18!
