Olathe Public Library offering help preparing for a job or seeking unemployment

Recognizing today’s challenging economy, the Olathe Public Library is offering programs to assist customers who have recently lost a job and/or are looking for employment. Two programs are in place and available during library hours at the main downtown library.  

            Library staff will be available to assist customers who have recently become unemployed by assisting with filing unemployment claims online. Customers are asked to bring dates of last employment and the former employer's address. Those interested are asked to reserve a time (one hour) with staff by calling (913) 971-6888.

            The main library will offer an open computer lab for customers interested in finding a job or updating resumes on March 6 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and April 14 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Staff will be available to provide assistance and answer questions. Customers need to bring employment and other pertinent information as well as a CD or flash drive to save resumes. Customers can register for the lab by calling (913) 971-6888.
