Tutor.com to Offer Services for Job Hunt

This article appeared in Library Journal on 4/1/2009:

As the economic downturn persists and layoffs continue nationwide, patrons are flocking to their local libraries, seeking help with the job search. To serve those needs, Tutor.com will go beyond its traditional role of serving mostly high school and college students by debuting Adult Learning Center.
According to the company, the service, scheduled for release in summer 2009, will include one-on-one tutoring with patrons to help them come up with "résumé strategies" and write cover letters. There will also be a proofreading component called ProofPoint, modeled after an existing Tutor.com service offered to high school students, as well as a SkillsCenter Resource Library to help users identify "vetted resources that provide résumé guidelines, job search guidance, and networking tips including how to use online resources and social media."
