Resources for Jobseekers

One patron group that we see a lot in libraries is jobseekers. We’ve all assisted someone with an application, a resume, or a cover letter. Did you know that there are resources out there that can make this process easier?

One great resource to refer jobseekers to is available through POWER Library and the state- PA CareerLink. Users can create a free login, and after doing so, they’ll be prompted to create a resume using a free tool. Also available to users is ACCESS SKILLUP PA, an online learning tool that offers continuing education to help them grow their skills.

Another great resource is Tutor.com. Tutor offers resume and cover letter review that’s performed by a real person, and the site includes tips for a job interview. Even better, those tips cover all types of job seekers from high school students to those re-entering the workforce.

The world of artificial intelligence is touching every aspect of life, and none more than academia. In this webinar, we will explore how AI can be used effectively by students. We will answer questions like:   

• What is AI and how does it work? 
• When is it appropriate to look to AI for help with academics? 
• What kind of prompts will help me get what I really need from AI? 
• How do I vet what I get from AI so I know it’s accurate? 
• How do I use AI and still learn what I need to in school? 
• Where can I get more help with using AI in conjunction with academics? 

Come learn more about how to reconcile AI with education.

This session is led by Tutor.com’s Training and Development Team. We’ll be holding a Q&A session after the presentation, so stick around at the end.
