I'm proud of the work we do here at Memphis Public Libraries
to assist our customers in locating jobs.
But when it comes to searching for jobs, not enough people have access to technology
and that's where the JOBLinc Bus comes in.
Hi, welcome to JOBLinc.
We want to make sure you get to work
JOBLinc began as a project targetting
the areas where people did not have access to technology and transportation.
We use the Grow with Google platform with our customers who are looking for jobs.
I was a letter carrier for 20 years.
I got laid off.
I lost everything.
If it wasn't for the library, I dont know where I would've gone
because I didn't have any other resources.
I didn't even have a smartphone.
Getting on the JOBLinc bus, you find out information
on resumes, job interviews,
how to use a computer.
And that's how I got offered employment.
Grateful is not the word for me.
It's above and beyond grateful.
JobLinc is just one of the many things that
the libraries does for the citizens.
