Get Online Seattle provides online job resources, tools

The City of Seattle has launched Get Online: Jobs & the Internet, an online toolbox for residents who are new to job searching on the Internet.

The www.seattle.gov/getonline website and print materials provide information to help understand and manage your online presence, use the right tools for your job search and make job connections both on- and offline.

Get Online Seattle education materials also promote options for affordable home Internet and locations with free access to computers and the Internet.

“Jobs & the Internet” is the second topic of the ongoing Get Online Seattle campaign to provide residents with the necessary skills to navigate the Internet, find content relevant to their needs and access affordable Internet.

The first topic focused on health resources, including what to look for in a reputable health site and what sites to avoid.

The next Get Online Seattle campaign, to be launched in October, will focus on learning and education resources.

Visit www.seattle.gov/getonline for more information about the jobs campaign, resources and tips for use. Posters and leaflets are also available via the website or by calling (206) 233-7877.
