[Michlib-l] MeL Minute: Search for Jobs & Internships with LearningExpress Library

Thu May 13 09:57:04 EDT 2021

Hi Peg, Kerri, and Jim,

I thought you might find some good information with these resources that
are free to all within the state of Michigan.  Another career resource that
MeL offers is AtoZdatabases
<https://geomi.atozdatabases.com/search?fromHttps=E2923E1AD59CF2513A7552124270C5FD>.

Kind regards,
Suzanne
