During a job and career search, one will go on countless interviews-some interviews will occur over the phone and some interviews will occur face-to-face. Interviews can be a major source of anxiety for many jobseekers.

Jobseekers can use the About Job Interviews resources on Job & Career Accelerator™ to ease their job interview jitters.

To access the About Job Interviews module, click on the “Tools to Get Hired” link at the top of the Job & Career Accelerator™ homepage. The About Job Interviews module will appear on the left side of the page. The module covers all the steps in the interview process, from scheduling the interview to post-interview follow-up. The module also includes a few sample job interview questions that users can answer.

After using the About Job Interviews module in Job & Career Accelerator™, patrons will be all set for their upcoming interviews!

• “Get a Jump on the Job Hunt” will be renamed “Job Search Resources” to be consistent with linking throughout the site.
• “Small Business Start-Up” will be renamed “Business: Small Business Start-Up” to bring it into alphabetical order for better discovery.

All of the other Tools for Tough Times links will be going away as this project/grant period is over.  Colleen will have more information on this in the next “What’s Up on the Web” newsletter.  The ‘Laptops for Job Seekers’ information remains on the Job Search Resources page:  http://www.sno-isle.org/?ID=1246&cid=996.

Our Reference Services Committee will be evaluating the following categories for redundancy and making some edits and changes to keep things clean:

• Business
• Small Business Start-up (Small Business Start-Up)
• Get a Jump on the Job Hunt (Job Search Resources)
• Job & Skills Development
