The Link (not the missing but the found)

 I have been touting the benefits of using the PA CareerLink® as a one-stop local resource for job searching and advancing careers. Beyond the fact we have a killer website, we are your local resource, with offices usually within 20 minutes or so, where you can stop in (depending on your needs) without an appointment and use one of our many available computers to look for work, write a resume and cover letter, file for your unemployment, get hands-on training on computers, software, internet. Each office has a full-time staff ready and willing to help you with any of these needs.

BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE!

Did you know CareerLink® is also MOBILE? Yes-sir-ee Bob, we have a mobile CareerLink® traveling office named (obviously) THE LINK. It travels far and wide throughout our area to bring all the services from Careerlink® to you. Well, not your house, but usually at your local library (so close enough for no-never-mind).

The Link is a mobile career center that provides services to each county in the Central PA workforce development area (WDA). It is equipped with seven computers, internet access, printing, and a presentation screen, and professional staff provides support for job matching and career guidance.

To see the monthly schedule, go to the NEWS page for my Google website and scroll through the list of events for the monthly flyer.

Better yet, check out the FACEBOOK page about it.

Just another extremely groovular way CareerLink® is the best toolbox you have to rock your job searches and career improvement activities.

Any requests from the peanut gallery?

 As many of you know, the schedule of workshop topics has been consistent over the years. Every so often a new one may be added, an old one taken away. But buy-and-large it has been consistent.  This is so everyone can attend them all.  Miss 'Internet Basics, Pt. 1: Tech and Terms' this month? Don't sweat it, it'll be back next month. Ohhh, but woe unto thee that has attended them all! Besides the plethora of knowledge, you would have gained, there is nothing new to learn! You don't even get an' I attended every CareerLink® virtual workshop and lived to tell the tale' Commemorative T-shirt! Well, my dear friends, I am open to requests. Is there a topic you would like me to present that I have not covered yet? A 'special guest' (within reason - I cannot swing getting Taylor Swift to co-host, try as I might) you would like to talk to and plumb the depth of their knowledge? Keep in mind it should relate to some aspect of improving your career/job prospe

 AI (Artificial Intelligence) - Is it the end of society? There has been a lot written lately in the news concerning the sudden accessibility of AI software on the web through various sites and apps you can download.  Some claim it is the next miraculous step in improving how computers can be a valuable tool in our lives. Others are afraid that its somewhat 'overnight' advancement might mean computers will be able to think and reason on their own, creating images of the movie 'The Terminator'  that plunge humankind into a dystopian world where we battle these supreme machines for our survival.  Make no mistake, this sudden advancement is astounding in its implications, and difficult to understand. However, AI has been used on the web for a long time, though not to this new degree. One example would be the use of a 'chatbot'. A chatbot mimics the written responses of an actual person. It might just answer generic questions with pre-written answers. At its best, i
