South Bay : DEFENSE CONVERSION
- Share via
When the aerospace industry was booming, workers used to stop by the El Segundo Public Library to do lunch-hour research. But as defense employment plummeted, the ranks of workers thinned.
Now, the library may lure them back with a new feature: resume typing. The service is being launched at 11 Southland libraries by a cooperative library network.
In El Segundo, job-hunters with a library card can have resumes typed and proofread for as little as $20, while those without cards pay more.
Said employee Denise Dumars: “We pretty much want them to get a card while they’re here.”
