Free Career Resources for Libraries from Glassdoor.com

Monday, September 28th, 2009

From the Post:

Glassdoor.com is a career and workplace community where anyone can find and anonymously share salary details about specific jobs for specific employers or company and interview reviews describing life on the inside of an employer-all for free. What sets it apart is that all the information comes from the people who know these companies best- either the employees who work there or the candidates who have interviewed there.

Normally, Glassdoor.com requires users to post their own anonymous information to gain free access, but through its Library Partnership Program, [Our emphasis] it now offers library patrons and students free access without having to post anything. As an added benefit, once a library has added
Glassdoor.com as a free resource, the company will send the library free Glassdoor.com bookmarks that provide tips for patrons on how to use Glassdoor.com as part of their job searches. [Our Emphasis] Libraries can add Glassdoor.com either as an online database or as an internet link.

Instructions are available at:
www.glassdoor.com/about/forLibraries_input.htm.

Career centers may request similar free access. Students with an .edu email address may also request individual free access without having to post anything by sending an email to students@glassdoor.com
