Job and Career Resources
Washington County Library can help with all steps of your job search process!
Check out these new resources we've added to our collection to help you find your dream job, nail the interview, or rethink your career.
Lynda is becoming LinkedIn Learning
On Wednesday, March 17, Lynda.com will officially migrate to LinkedIn Learning. Users will gain access to more than 16,000 courses in 7 languages, accessible for free using your library card number and PIN.
If you're a current Lynda.com user, there's nothing you need to do to prepare for this change. Your user history will migrate to your new LinkedIn Learning account using your current library card number and PIN.
Beginning March 18, there will be a new link on our website to access your account at LinkedIn Learning. At that time, the LinkedIn Learning mobile app will not work for library users. If you would like to access content on your phone, you should use your mobile web browser.
For more information, check out these FAQs from LinkedIn Learning or reach out to a librarian at your local branch.
