Job and Career Resources for the Recent Graduate

Congratulations to all the recent graduates of Georgia’s schools and colleges!

You may be leaving your school behind, but did you know that you can still access GALILEO through your Georgia public library? Just contact your local public library for the GALILEO password or information on accessing your public library’s online resources.

Now, let’s talk about the job and career resources in GALILEO that you can access through your public library.

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 and see this handout for a list of resources.

Some links may not work off site. Log in to GALILEO first for access.
