Beyond Method #4

The VisualCV site states that they will cease operations effective December 30, 2011.  Indeed was easy to use.  I searched different jobs in my local area and got good results.  Texasjobs.com was not as helpful.  The site found jobs in San Antonio, while Indeed found the same type of jobs in Austin.  CareerBuilder was not as intuitive as Indeed. It would be harder for someone not computer literate to use without assistance.  Bixee was more geared to international jobs.
The Goodwill Community Foundation's tutorials are excellent.  They would certaintly be helpful for patrons learining computer skills.  I would recommend these tutorials for computer training.
We have Resume Builder available on our public access computers. We did offer some computer training classes at our library through a grant.  Currently we do not have staff to do more training though it would be helpful for job seekers.  We could direct our patrons to the free online resources we found through this exercise.
