Washington County Library Announces New Resource for Job Seekers


By John A. Stefani

Job seekers needing help with resume or interview preparation can now get live expert help at the Washington County Library. Using your Washington County library card you may access a new online resource, JobNow!, from the library or from home. JobNow! offers live assistance from job coaches trained to work with individuals through every step of the job search process. All coaches possess four-year college degrees, must undergo a rigorous selection and training process, and must complete a full background and security check.

The JobNow! service offers personality assessments to help beginning job seekers pinpoint their desired career field, resume and cover letter templates, local job search websites, and more. Job seekers can get constructive suggestions on their own resumes, help in writing a professional cover letter and even get live interview practice and feedback. 

Tutors are online seven days a week, from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m., and they offer assistance in English and Spanish. If those times don’t work, job seekers can submit their resumes at any time of day through the JobNow Resume Lab and a job coach will return your resume within 24 hours, along with detailed feedback and suggestions for improvement. Call Washington County Library’s Info Desk, 651-731-1320, with questions about the new resource.
