GALILEO is there: Acquiring Your Next Job and Advancing Your Career

In celebration of National Library Week, we are doing a series on how GALILEO is there supporting your community.

Let’s start by taking a look at the job and career resources in GALILEO.

Job and Career Accelerator helps you create professional and effective resumes and cover letters, master interviewing techniques, improve your work skills, and prepare for occupation-related exams. It will also help you explore occupations and find your occupation match. See our earlier tips on how to use this resource to build your resume and write your cover letter.

LearningExpress Library offers practice tests, tutorials, and eBooks related to job search and workplace skills improvement, career certification and licensing exam preparation, college entrance and graduate school admissions exam preparation, GED exam preparation, and more. Check out our earlier tip on how to use this resource to practice for occupational exams.

Georgia Career Information System can help you explore occupations, identify occupations based on your skills, locate schools with your program of study, find job opportunities, create resumes and cover letters, prepare for job interviews and more. You will need to log in to GALILEO through PINES or with a public library password, and then you will need to get the GCIS username and password for your library to access the database.

Find these resources and more in the Browse by Subject > Careers section of GALILEO.

GALILEO has upcoming training sessions on LearningExpress Library, RB Test Prep, and Job and Career Accelerator during April and May. Register for these on the GALILEO Training page.

Some links may not work off site. Log in to GALILEO first for access. Contact your local public library for assistance.
