Job-hunters may also participate in a “Flash Round-Table Round-Up” in which they will give a 30-second resumé of why their qualifications make them the best candidate for a job.
Refreshments will be available, and a drawing for a door prize will take place at the end of the meeting. The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call the branch library at 281-499-4100.
The ICAN (Information, Careers and Networking) Center provides eight additional computers, printers, and traditional print resources that are specifically intended to assist job hunters or anyone considering a career change. High school students, college graduates, senior adults, or people with limited English-speaking abilities will find resources that will assist them in career planning, job-skills exam preparation, college selection and financial aid, and current career information.
The ICAN Center was made possible with funding provided by a Loan Star grant from the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. The Loan Star program is designed to enhance and enrich the services that public libraries provide to the citizens of the state of Texas, both in their local areas and across the state.

Free Job Search Workshop Returns in August
LEARN JOB-SEARCH SURVIVAL TIPS
AT SIENNA BRANCH LIBRARY
Have you been searching for a job and not having any luck? Maybe it’s time for a change in your game plan. Fort Bend County Libraries’ Sienna Branch Library, 8411 Sienna Springs Blvd in Missouri City, will present a free, three-part series of “Job-Search Survival Tips,” beginning on Monday, August 9, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, in the Meeting Room of the library. The series will continue on August 10 and 11, at the same place and time. Different topics are discussed each night.
The three-part series is designed to help all job-hunters, from those applicants applying for a position at a fast-food restaurant to executives looking for a position in a large company. The tips that are presented can help any applicant plan a more efficient job hunt and make a more favorable impression.
Learn tips on writing a better resumé, researching prospective employers, interviewing and non-verbal skills, making a great first impression, networking, and much more. By developing an organized plan of action, the applicant is able to experience a more efficient job hunt with an increased chance of success.
In the series, a team of 10 professionals, with decades of experience in corporate America between them, will share their insight and the experiences they themselves have had in the business world – from the perspective of the employer doing the hiring as well as the employee looking for a job. Led by head business coach, Mickey Mixon, the job-search survival team includes business owners, financial and mortgage advisors, computer consultants, sales and marketing professionals, and advertising and communications executives – all of whom volunteer their time for this workshop.
“During these recessionary times, with more candidates competing for fewer available positions, it is imperative that those in the job-search scramble learn to effectively communicate their experience, skills, accomplishments and personal attributes in order to ‘sell’ themselves to potential employers,” says Mixon. “Our aim is to equip each participant in our program with the necessary skills to accomplish that goal.”
The sessions are free and open to the public. Registration is not required, and late arrivals are welcome. For more information, call the libraries’ Public Information Office at 281-341-2677.
