“One day a young woman came up to me and said, 'Remember me? I came in a couple weeks ago. You helped me get on a computer and look for a job. Well, I got a job, and I wanted to say thank you.' It was an important reminder to me that what may seem boring, thankless and stressful can be a really important part of someone’s day.”

Key Features
Easy for Patrons to Use
Step-by-step guidance helps patrons with limited computer skills or writing experience create professional resumes independently. No appointments or one-on-one assistance required, though staff can provide support when needed.
Customized for Different Situations
Tailored resume assistance for various career stages: first jobs, career changes, returning to work after a gap, military-to-civilian transitions, and more. Patrons get relevant guidance for their specific situation.
Complements Existing Programs
Enhances your current offerings like job search workshops, computer literacy classes, and career resource collections. Patrons leave these programs with a concrete deliverable: a professional resume.
Equal Opportunity for All
Many community members can't afford professional resume services. Your library provides equitable access to high-quality career tools that level the playing field for all job seekers.
No Technical Burden
Cloud-based solution requires no software installation or IT maintenance. Simply provide access through your library's website or computer terminals or remote behind a library login.
