[A picture containing text, clipart, sign  Description automatically generated]When it is time to look for a new job, AtoZDatabases<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=atoz>, an eResource from the Michigan eLibrary<https://mel.org/welcome>, provides tools that help job seekers learn about the structure of a business, brush up on resume and interview skills, and find job listings within geographic parameters set by the user. People looking to start or grow a business will also find tools to help with their marketing plan.

Find a Business or Executive

In the Find a Business or Executive tab, the search options allow job seekers to research a business. The results include a description of the business, as well as information about its location, the revenue it generates, and the number of people it employs.

Find a Job

The Find a Job tab allows the user to generate a list of jobs within a geographic range. The advanced search tool allows for narrowing the job search by using specific key words and phrases, as well as specifying a salary range and more detailed geographic range options.

Career Resources

Job seekers will find the Career Resources tab particularly useful as it provides information about how to prepare for a job search including eight key questions that one might ask when looking for a job to be sure to find the right fit. Learners can also discover how to understand their own strengths and weaknesses and summarize their skill set in order to prepare for a new career opportunity. In addition, the Career Resources tab includes information about how to apply for a job, including tips on how to write a resume and how to connect with hiring managers. This tab also includes information about preparing for an interview and how to follow up after an interview.

Mailing Lists, Sales Leads, Emails

Although AtoZDatabases is a powerful tool for finding a job, it includes other features that are useful to starting or growing a business as well. The Mailing Lists, Sales Leads, Emails tab allows a user to generate a list of potential customers. By clicking Get Started next to 30 Million Businesses & Executives, a search can be performed using specific parameters such as a business type and business location. The results can be downloaded and used to generate a mailing list of potential business customers. Using the 240 Million Residents search will generate similar mailing lists of potential residential customers within a geographic parameter.
