Career Resources at the Library

Looking for a job or making a career change? The library has many resources to assist you. In particular, the Westchester Library System subscribes to two databases: Job & Career Accelerator (a comprehensive online job search system), and Learning Express (a comprehensive, interactive online learning platform of practice tests and tutorial course series.) Job and Career Accelerator puts job seekers on the fast track to getting hired with courses in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Publisher, and more. Learning Express will show you how to improve your interviewing skills, how to use social networking for career success, and how to create a better resume and cover letter. There are also practice tests for law enforcement, nursing, civil service, electrician, plumbing, and teaching exams. In addition to these databases, the library frequently adds new titles to our Job Resources section in the library. Some of the newest titles include:
