Beyond Method #4

This was definitely another eye-opening experience.  I had spent a little time on job-seeking sites with family members, but this task can be extremely overwhelming even for someone experienced with using a computer and the Internet. 

To find specifically what you're looking for, a person must have basic, sometimes, even advanced search skills; otherwise, you'll be left with hundreds or even thousands of meaningless job "hits." Most sites also require or encourage you to create an account to take advantage of all the functions of the site.  That requires having an email address - something that even today not all adults have and utilize.

The GCF's page is a good start for those new to using computers; however, who really "studied" computer basics? More interactive and even videos tutorials would be better. Most computer users learned by doing, so with these kind of resources in hand, the best practice is to provide patrons with hands-on learning opportunities.  This can be done in sync with searching for a job.  Dive right in - it's 2012!
