After taking a career test, jobseekers may want to head to their local library. This is due to the fact that these public facilities are now considered by many to be the new job hunting headquarters, according to Hamden, Connecticut’s Patch website.

There are several reasons why jobseekers are flocking to their local libraries. In addition to having books on various careers, libraries also provide access to computers and the internet. In fact, some individuals simply bring their laptop computer to the library to take advantage of its wireless service, the news source reported.

"Public libraries have always provided internet access, and that’s especially popular now," Barbara Cangiano, head reference librarian at the James Blackstone Memorial Library in Branford, Connecticut, told the news outlet. She added that there is always a segment of the population that cannot connect to the web in their homes.

The need for internet access is becoming increasingly important in the job search, as many employers now ask candidates to apply for positions online.

In addition, the internet has the potential to connect jobseekers with possible professional opportunities via social media websites or in another part of the country. The Riley Guide, a career information directory, states that when searching for employment on the web, there are no geographic or time limitations.
