If you're having trouble creating or refocusing your resume, you may have to look no further than your local library for help. In The Wall Street Journal, writer Jonnelle Marte offers up many alternatives to the costly route of professional resumesmiths.

Find your local center at www.servicelocator.org. Guidance is also available online at www.careeronestop.org.

So, before shelling out big bucks to get some professional resume dazzle, check out Marte's suggested resources. You've nothing to lose except your time, and it may turn out to be a huge win for you in your job search.
