Workshops for job seekers at Stratford Library

The Library will offer two innovative workshops in November to introduce job seekers to two useful "tools" in their job search: the websites LinkedIn and Krazoom.

Monday, November 15 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. The hands-on workshop Get Connected with LinkedIn, taught by a Department of Labor Career Development Specialist, will show you how to set-up a professional networking profile on LinkedIn, build your network, connect and share information about job opportunities. Advance registration is required (register at the Reference Desk). To benefit from the program, you must have a working email account and a copy of your resume saved in .txt format. Call the Reference Desk for details at 203-385-4161

Monday, November 29 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. You can find your next job on Krazoom : an innovative new website for your online job search site. Krazoom creator, Henning Seip, will demonstrate the unique benefits that set this database apart from all the other job search sites. With Krazoom, you match your skills and experience to hundreds of jobs you may not have ever considered.

Both workshops are free and open to the public. For more information, call the Adult Services Dept. at 203-385-4161.
