This site is a good place to begin the search process for
jobs. This is a basic self-assessment tool based on the
Holland personality
types test. Included is a list on career help on the Internet
and links to the Occupational

Occupational
Outlook Handbook
This government publication is a tried and true resource.
LTA students can perform a keyword search on library
technicians and link to the government description of their
job, as
well as receive job projections for the next five years.
This
is
useful for preparing to request a salary upgrade. Job
seekers and students will also find a wide variety of job
descriptions
and salary projections.
