We’ve talked about nothing but books so far in this three-part series on how The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County can help you in your job search. This post lists some of the online resources of the library’s Career Resource Center. Some you can access from the library website, some from your computer, others are subscription services you will have to access from the Main Library or branch workstations.
Of course, to use the library and its job search resources, you have to have library card. A simple matter if you live in Hamilton County. You can even apply for a library card online. If you live in surrounding counties, including in Norther Kentucky, you may have to pay a fee or use your local library membership to get a Cincinnati library card. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re not an avid public library patron, you may think libraries just lend books. But they do that and a whole lot more. For example, The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County houses a Career Resource Center to help you in your job search efforts.
In this post, I’ll let you in on what the Cincinnati Library offers in the way of expensive and short-lived reference books. While you may be able to obtain some of these books faster online, the library holds many job search volumes that you probably don’t want to buy. Some because they cost thousands of dollars and others because they’re not only expensive, they go out of date quickly. The Public Library holds these books and will let you use them, but it does not lend them out.
In subsequent posts, I’ll write about the Library’s job search book and online resource recommendations. If you’d rather not wait, call they Cincinnati Main Library or you local branch. See Locations. Read the rest of this entry »
