Resources Room, the Woodridge Library is offering a drop-in clinic to provide job seekers with a librarian's undivided attention so that you may prepare your résumé, fine tune a cover letter, search the many available resources for specific jobs and complete online job applications.  This drop-in clinic does not require registration; however, space is limited to three people at any given time.

Please call the library at 202-541-6226 with any questions.
