LAKEPORT, Calif. – Job seekers in Lake County now have some new online tools at their disposal, thanks to the Lake County Library.
The library has recently added two new resources, Lynda.com and BrainFuse to its array of print and digital resources for job seekers.
Lynda.com offers more than 5,000 on-demand video courses to help you build professional skills across a vast range of job functions.
Brainfuse's JobNow and VetNow features live online assistance, resume lab help and a wide range of academic tools to help job seekers and veterans reach their goals. All you need is a Lake County Library card and access to the library’s website to benefit from these exciting resources.
County librarian Christopher Veach said, “There is a focus in our county right now on economic development and I want to make sure the library has quality resources to help people trying to find jobs or succeed in their career.”
JobNow, VetNow and Lynda.com can be found on the library website under Digital Content.
JobNow and VetNow are supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the state librarian.
The library’s physical and digital books are a great resource for people looking for a job, learning a new skill, or brushing up their resumes. With the resources of three counties to draw from, job seekers can explore a wide selection of books on job hunting, career development and resume writing.
The library has free public access computers at all library branches where people can apply for jobs and write resumes. Lakeport and Clearlake are open, and the small libraries in Middletown and Upper Lake require appointments to use the library.
The library’s website gives information about library programs, services and policies. To speak to a library employee, call 707-263-8817.
