http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30075466GOOD EXPERIENCE
I found the session very helpful. Instead of focusing too much on finding a field, we focused on simpler things like what working environments I'm most comfortable with and then went from there. I thought that method was much more effective. Looking forward to follow up sessions.

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30075466Evaluation of yesterday's career counseling (AARP specialists)
I found the session with two counselors very useful, primarily because it gave me new websites, new ideas, new approaches and a boost in my job search. However, I think the service should track people they counsel to see whether they got jobs afterwards, what kind, and how long it took. Also, they should have precise information on job referrals.

http://www.genbook.com/bookings/slot/reservation/30075466Thanks for Vault.com!
My session with two career counselors at SIBL was very productive, informative and encouraging. I went straight to the SIBL's computer section and logged on to Vault.com as per the counselors' advice, and boom! - I got the list of the firms I wanted to apply to in my job search for FREE. For those who don't know, Vault.com is not for free if you try it from your home computer. They want you to pay some subscription fee on a monthly basis. Thanks a lot, SIBL.

I definitely appreciated the help I received from this service. I had met with Lee Frankel and she helped me a lot. She was able to look at my resume and make very strong improvements on it. She alsoe gave me advice on a couple of websites, LiknedIn. and ReferenceUSA.com. I didn't know about Reference USA, so I am also grateful that I learned some thing new. The only downside to this service is the limited amount of time I can see a couselor.

On top of that, she was just very encouraging and positive, which is something I've heard is not characteristic of other counselors. It also helped that we shared a similar interest in the environment, history and the natural sciences so conversation was enjoyable overall.

I had a session with Charles Moldenhauer, from the door he was analytical of the skills I had that I didn't pay attention to. He sat down and looked at the copies of my resume and helped me with formatting them. It helped to give me some clarity on my situation, I'm still a little lost though. The only qualm I had was the session seemed rushed, I did arrive on time (15 mins early) but I got in there 15 mins after my schedule time. I wouldn't mind doing it again, but with a different counselor.

My experience at Job Search Central was exceptional. I was able to discuss a game plan about my future job options without feeling any pressure from the career counselor. I was extremely aprehensive about anything to to with resume writing, and was given a renewed sense of confidence after my meeting. Sometimes it really helps to speak to an objective person. It was just like taking to my dad, but without the judgement. I will be taking advantage of all the sessions, they really do help.

And there are so many pertinent books on careers. Job Search Central is my "go to" place for my job search. Thanks, NYPL.

Amy gave me honest advice about how to set up my resume as a career changer. She gave me helpful explanations as to why I should use one resume type over another.
