I believe using an employment website to find a specific job posting or to complete an online application could be very challenging to a user who is not computer literate. Individuals who are comfortable using a computer can perform tasks including using a mouse, sending an email, uploading a file, or printing a confirmation page without difficulty, but to an individual who has very little exposure to computers each of these tasks may involve multiple steps, any one of which can become a hurdle.
I discovered the Goodwill Community Foundation training website just before beginning Method #4 and have been very impressed with the site's interface, scope, and currency. I would definitely recommend it to patrons seeking to improve their computer skills. Also, my library offers one-on-one computer classes and basic resume classes, both of which could be assets to job seekers.
