As our nation works toward developing a new normal in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, jobless rates and job competition are likely to increase in the coming months.

If you have been displaced as a result of the pandemic or if you are considering a career change, TLCPL has digital resources to help navigate the job-seeking landscape. All you need is your library card to get started.

Tutor.com may sound like it is geared toward students but it has an array of options for adults, and particularly for job-seekers and those preparing to take the GED or ASVAB assessments. Tutor.com also provides writing support either in a live session or through the Drop-off Paper review. Using this function, you can have Tutor.com review your resume or cover letter and receive feedback within 12 hours.
