Job Search Resources
What you can do
We have the resources you need to find that first job, make a career change, polish that resume, or get that degree. And if you’re an absolute beginner who needs to learn how to use a computer to improve your job prospects, we have a solution for that, too.
There are several computers available in the lab for internet access and word processing. These computers are strictly for your job search and academic needs.
To see what we have, search our library catalog, come in and browse through our College & Career and Business & Work sections on the Library’s second floor or call the Library Reference Desk at 333-6640 ext. 4.

Maine Career Centers provide a variety of employment and training services at no charge for Maine workers and businesses. Whether you are looking to improve your job qualifications, explore a different profession, find a new career, or start a new business, the Career Center can help.
You can now schedule appointments with a career counselor here at the Auburn Public Library! Appointments are scheduled on Thursdays or Fridays; we will set you up with a webcam in one of our private study rooms and, should you need help during your appointment, we will be nearby to lend support. We are one of several libraries in the state piloting this program. Call or email the Reference Desk for more information — 207-333-6640, ext. 4 or reference@auburnpubliclibrary.org..
