Investment decisions are 89% based on emotion according to Kathleen Gurney, PhD., of the Financial Psychology Corporation.  Dr. Gurney also has determined that only 20% of the population feels comfortable with higher levels of investment risk.

Whether up or down, the market is always on the move.  How will you react to changing market conditions and what effects could your actions have on your financial plan?  Many people have questions about their investment strategy, yet they never find the time to get them answered.

This free, informational program will discuss how emotions affect investment decisions, general market expectations for three types of investors, lessons from the last 75 years of U.S. economic history, and investment tools and strategies to help fine-tune your financial plan.

WinWay Resume DeluxeThe library now has software loaded on the public computers to help you create a resume. WinWay Resume Deluxe allows you create a resume, either using their Resume Wizard or on your own.

It contains sample resumes to customize, recommended language to use to describe your experience and background and has an “auditor” feature that checks through your resume for possible revision.

If you bring in your own resume bond paper, you can load it into our computers to print the resume out. Our printers are black and white ink only and prints cost .15 per page.

Be sure to try out the resume software in conjunction with our expanding resources and programs for job hunters. Stay tuned for Resume workshops with Staffing Expert Gary Gecko coming in May 2009.
