Tip Sheets

While spending time in person at TVCC is the best way to take advantage of our services, we know that isn’t always possible. A lot of your thinking, writing and searching happens at home or somewhere else, so to help, we’ve developed a series of free downloadable Tip Sheets for you to access 24/7/365, encompassing a wide variety of issues that job seekers face. (Unless otherwise noted, the Tip Sheets are in PDF form. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will need to download it here.)
