Submitted by Anonymous on May 21, 2013 at 1:56 PM.
Here at the Bronx Library Center's Career & Education Information Services located at 310 East Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, New York, 10458, I was able to restructure my resume, use the computers for an extended period of time to look online for work, have a place to come after a day of work search, be able take advantage of many of the job search and career development tools and tips that are currently in demand in the modern day work force, job search advice, along with other services.
Additionally, I have been able to get materials for my job search including folders, poster card for the resumes, various print outs and other material.
Some of the services that I would like to see include summer job search strategies, restyling winning work style(s), getting the job you really want, the right approach to interviewing, how to get job interview(s) and land the job, job search basics, sustaining a job search in a unfavorable market, building up and stay connected to an effective network(s), matching personalities with a career one loves, mock interviews, screening and feed back sessions with actual employers and marketing oneself to a decision maker. An occasional motivational speaker would be an asset as well.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the members of the Career & Education Information Services for the help and assistance that I have received. I hope that funding to the department and the library as a whole continues so that this center can expand and include some of the lectures, conferences, workshops and career development events suggested. I believe job development and career enhancement and change are arduous enough. Having a dedicated department such as the Career & Education Information Services Center is not only a welcome treasure but also essential. It genuinely assists and directs people seeking employment.

Ms. Saunders is a very efficient, considerate, courteous and thoughtful individual. I came to CEIS seeking a job as a Teacher and my experience with her has helped me to express my self in ways that I never known. The Resume, "Oh My God, It Is Different" it has the word "Professional" written all over it. I would recommend everyone to come and sit with Ms. Saunders, she is very patient. So much thought goes into each resume and no one is the same. I even brought three sons and she worked with them individually and professionally. Ms. Saunders completed their resumes and is scheduling them for job interviews.
CEIS is proficient and it is a "GO TO Center For The Neighborhood". I have never seen anyone leave unsatisfied, everyone walks a with with a smile on their face. Something Good Is Happening In The Bronx!
