A well-presented resume can mean the difference between unemployment and a steady income. As part of our ongoing quest to provide our patrons with all the tools they need to help them get back on their feet in these tough times, Wayne County Public Library has a new tool that allows patrons to create and share their professional quality resumes online. It’s called Optimal Resume and it’s available to all Wayne County residents, whether they have a library card or not.
To access Optimal Resume, just type this address into your web browser: https://wcpl.optimalresume.com. Once there, you will need to create a user account and then you will be able to use all of the tools that Optimal Resume has available.
Unlike creating a resume in a word processing program, there is no need to have knowledge of formatting techniques. All a user has to do is enter relevant information in structured categories (such as work history, educational background, and professional certifications) and Optimal Resume will generate a resume for you that can be downloaded to your computer, printed off, or published online.
Optimal Resume also allows users to create portfolios of their written works, photography, presentations, and many other types of creative projects that show their range of talents. Patrons will even be able to (with the necessary hardware) record a video resume, allowing them to make a positive first impression as if they were meeting employers in person.
This service is offered completely free-of-charge. Patrons can access it from home at any time, or they are welcome to use one of the public access computers at their local library branch. Please be aware that using public-access computers at any Wayne County Public library requires a library card, which is free to residents of Wayne County.
Please do not hesitate to call the Reference Desk at 735-1824 ext. 5100 if you have any questions about Optimal Resume.
