The Job Shop remains closed during flood recovery. However, you can still use the links to the right to help you find information on resumes, cover letters, salary information and job listings. Also, all branch locations are open. They offer Internet for job searching, Microsoft Office to create resumes and they are able to circulate materials. The staff at these locations would be happy to assist you with all your job searching needs.
Additional updates on the Job Shop will be made available here as soon as possible.

We wanted to tell you about our new Monday Night Series for Job Seekers. Every Monday night from 6-7 in the Job Shop, we will have a speaker from a local business or organization come in and talk to us on such topics as how to get hired, writing great resumes, and how to interview. Our first workshop will be this coming Monday, July 20th, and is titled Effective Resume Construction. It will run from 6-7 in the Job Shop meeting room. No sign-ups are necessary just come join us on the 20th at 6 pm. To learn more about our classes and find information about other upcoming classes check out our Job Shop Classes Page .
Also, there have been a couple of interesting articles this past week for job seekers. CNN had an article about how people who are getting laid off are finding new careers that they always wanted to try and having great success. If you've been considering a new career check out last weeks post on Career Exploration. And a little closer to home, Business First had an article Friday about Sykes Enterprises bringing 500 jobs to Bardstown.
