Lesson 2

Practice Tests
I have used Learning Express Library before to test myself on the Citizenship Test and find it extremely useful. This time, I did a practice math CLEP test. It gives a detailed explanation for the answers to all questions, whether you answered them right or wrong. This really is a very valuable resource that I think is under used!

Job Searching
I chose the "Creating Great Cover Letters" course. It describes in detail the purpose of a cover letter and why it is important, and gives a sample. I found the little grey boxes on each page with the helpful hints very useful. When I got to the page titled "Putting It All Together" there was an option to print at the bottom, which I also found very useful. I liked that on the left side of the page there was an outline. They have a form you can enter your information in. It has plenty of examples. It gave a list of noticeable words to include, which is something most people don't even think about. They also give you example answers to tough questions like salary. Then, at the end it gives you the option to download the cover letter you made in the course. I had to take a semester long course in college on writing resumes, cover letters, etc. and I think this little course had more information and detail on cover letters than my college course had! I will definitely be directing patrons to this resource.

eBooks
I am really impressed with how many different topics/subjects Learning Express Library has eBooks on. I browsed one about real estate today. I didn't realize just how much this resource had to offer!
