While you might be aware that October 7-14th is LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Week, did you know that the Career Resource Library (CRL) has an online LGBT Career Guide for Job Seekers as well as LGBT books?

View some LGBT books below!

The G Quotient by Kirk Snyder in CRL Gay Lesbian Bisexual

Straight Talk About Gays in the Workplace by Liz Winfeld, in CRL Gay Lesbian Bisexual

Straight Jobs, Gay Lives by Annette Friskopp in CRL Gay Lesbian Bisexual

Similar to most of our Career Guides, the LGBT Career Guide for Job Seekers contains sections on useful information and advice, job banks, directories, associations, and market trends.

Under the directories section, there is a list from Diversity Inc. of their 9th annual report on the top 50 companies that are LGBT friendly employers. The top five companies that made the list are Johnson & Johnson, AT&T, Ernst & Young, Marriott International, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. This site is worth checking out because not only does it provide a list, but it also provides detailed profiles of each company.

For more information or resources visit the Career Resource Library at One Palace Road, Room P304E. For Reference Appointments, give us a call at 617-521-2515, or email us as crl@simmons.edu.
