Looking for a Job?

Looking for a job? Considering a career change?

A new high-end database called the Testing and Education Reference Center (TERC) is available for use by the public at the . The Haddonfield Public Library will give a special presentation and instructions on how to access and use this vital new resource on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon.

Haddonfield Library Director Susan Briant noted, “Everything is virtual these days. Almost everything in the job application process has to be submitted electronically. We are very fortunate to be able to offer this new database because not all our local libraries have this resource.”

TERC is not a bricks and mortar site but an online service that covers a host of sources and techniques on everything from applying for scholarships, transitioning out of the military or filing your resume file online. During the class Wednesday, librarian Jo Pure will guide those seeking employment through the Career Builder process which helps construct a resume based on the applicant’s response to questions about their experience and skills.

The Gage Cenage Learning group, which publishes TERC, describes the model on their website. “The Resume Builder helps users build outstanding, appealing resumes based on the stage of their career and type of position they are applying for. It also includes help tools specific to the user including high school students, those transitioning out of the military, and those looking for internships. The Virtual Careers Library provides resume, cover letter, and interviewing tips for users starting out in high school to the seasoned professional (who) is changing careers.”

For more information about the class, call Pure at 856-429-1304, ext. 12 or e-mail her at jkp@haddonfieldlibrary.org

Future appointments to use TERC are recommended.
