Computer Use Policy for Clients

The Job Shop is pleased to offer computer use for our clients. However, to ensure good service to job seekers, our computers are reserved for job search and career research related activity only. This includes word processing of job search documents such as resumes and cover letters and the use of job search and career related web sites.

Explanation of Career Related Activity

Web Browsing

Typical access would include on-line job postings, corporate web sites to research a particular company, occupational research sites such as Workfutures, and college or university web sites to locate training possibilities. Our computers are not to be used for taking on-line courses or to support formal education.

 

Email

You may use our computers for job search related email. Primarily this would be to check for responses from employers to whom you have given your resume, and to submit resumes electronically. If you have personal mail, you must deal with it elsewhere.
