The Birmingham Public Library is offering two virtual job search classes in July on Zoom. The first class, Find Your Next Job Using Google, is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, at 11:00 a.m. CST. The one-hour long class will introduce participants to the Google job search engine and provide instruction on how to effectively navigate it to find the type of jobs that are of the most interest to you.
A follow-up class, Create Your Resume Using Google, will be offered on Wednesday, July 29, at 11:00 a.m. CST. The purpose of this class is to show participants how to use the variety of templates available on Google Docs to develop a job resume that will capture the attention of employers.
These classes are funded by a grant from Libraries Lead with Digital Skills, a project created by the American Library Association (ALA) and the Public Library Association (PLA), and sponsored by Grow with Google, the tech company’s economic opportunity initiative. The goal of the project is to provide support for public libraries in offering programming that helps everyone in the community—those who make up the workforce of today and those who will drive the workforce of tomorrow—have access to the best of Google’s training and tools to prepare for, and find employment.
