Question: Do you offer resume workshops?
Answer: Sometimes! There aren't any coming up soon, but we have plenty of resources to help you build your resume on our website's Resume Help section.
You can find resume and cover letter templates, tips on writing your resume and a sheet to help you gather your thoughts while building your resume.
You can even send your resume and cover letter to jobhelp@lcplin.org and our committee of librarians will review them for you! So while we may do the occasional workshop, we have plenty of resources always available to help you on your way!
