Optimal Resume

I am really impressed by Optimal Resume. If I was looking for new employment - thank goodness I'm not - I would find the practice interviews most helpful. It is always such a nerve-racking process. The ability to record your answers and even broadcast them is really great, and I thought the coaching function was a wonderful resource, too.

I think our patrons will find Optimal Resume extremely helpful, especially with the resume and letter help. When I worked in Public Service, many patrons asked for help writing these, especially at the computer info desk. Optimal Resume is a great addition to our databases.

Print Friendly

I tried Print Friendly on an article I found in the Sentinel about collage artist, Jonathan Talbot, who is visiting GJ and speaking at Mesa State.



Print Friendly is a great tool that I plan to use whenever I need to print off an article from the internet. I have always print previewed in the past, but what I really like about Print Friendly is the ability to cut out images or text with just a simple click of the mouse. It is a much easier and faster process than copying and pasting the information you want into a blank Word document. Print Friendly is one more resource we can use to help the library be more green.
