How West Sussex Libraries can help

We have a wide variety of services available to help you in your work search including our eInformation Resources, plus information and websites that can help with Learning.

We also have a Jobs and Careers helpheet for further job search resources available via West Sussex Libraries including:

COBRA

COBRA Complete Business Reference Adviser- a business database with information about starting and running a small business.

See our COBRA helpsheet for more information about how to use this resource with your West Sussex library card.

My Work Search

My Work Search is an online toolkit to help you find job opportunities, available free to all West Sussex Library members. It also contains a job finder and a CV builder.

You will need to register in the library for an individual My Work Search account, but then you can use My Work Search from home.
