At a time when the need to re-evaluate, alter or develop careers is greater than ever, Gale has developed a new electronic resource offering a comprehensive guide to career change.

Career Transitions is a complete, guided, self-paced application that walks the individual through the process — taking stock of the current situation, assessing strengths and interests, exploring new opportunities, improving chances of getting a job and finally taking the plunge and pursuing the next opportunity.

Over the past year the number of unemployed in the United States has increased by over 5 million people.  The introduction of Career Transitions comes at a time when people need help making life-changing career choices.

  • Resume Maker - this “database” allows patrons to write their resume and store it online. What’s really nice for those who want to submit a resume online it puts in the correct format.
  • Vault Career Library - offers tons of advice on finding jobs, interviewing and writing resumes.
  • InfoGuide – Jobs and Careers
