You Can Make It Happen!

Welcome to the Virtual Job Fair Handbook. We’ve prepared it to help you apply for jobs posted online within the Virtual Job Fair which opens June 10, 2013 at midnight and ends June 14, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. The lessons start with the very basics of computer and Internet knowledge to help you even if you’re new to the online job application process. If you have great computer and Internet skills, you can skip the basics and jump to the topics that matter to you. We’ve provided information and examples to help you build an effective resume and apply for the jobs that fit your experience and skills — and get the job you want.

The Virtual Job Fair is brought to you by WorkSource and Florida State College at Jacksonville.

Video Introduction

Using the Start Menu in Windows

The Windows desktop is what you see when you turn on the computer. It is symbolic of a work desk with items on it that you use to accomplish tasks. These items are graphic images called icons or buttons. These represent programs or areas of the computer.

Video: Start Programs

On the lower left of the screen, there is a button labeled Start. If you click it, a list of items appears above it.

Point to the item labeled Programs, and a partial list of software applications appears to the right of it. Now, slowly move the mouse over to the right and move down to the arrows at the bottom of the list. Click the down arrows and a complete list of all the programs loaded on the computer will appear. You may now point to the item you want on the menu and click on it; this will start that program.

Once the program starts, a button representing the program appears on the Taskbar at the bottom of your Windows screen. This is where you can see all the programs that are currently being used.
