Santa Clara County Library is pleased to announce the addition of Career Transitions, a new database designed to support the unique needs of job seekers.

Career Transitions is a guided, self-paced resource that walks you through the entire job search process, from assessing strengths and interests to preparing a resume to applying for jobs online.

The database is divided into a step-by-step approach in which users can explore five different areas:

• Assess yourself and match your interests with career paths that will make you happy and productive.
• Explore hundreds of career paths and target the fastest-growing ones by state and industry.
• Build, save, retrieve and update a professional resume and a list of references.
• Find courses, associations and other resources to brush up on skills and increase hiring chances.
• Access job listings from around the country.

Please note: New users will be asked to create a username and password when they first access the database. This account will let you save your work and data for you to access the next time you visit Career Transitions.

To use Career Transitions from at home, you will need a valid library card number and PIN. We hope you'll take some time to explore this important new addition to our Job and Career Help Center.
