Resources for Office Professionals at EMU
Web Resources Outside EMU
EMU suggests that you use the web for both your work life and your personal
life (knowing when to do each, of course!). There are countless resources
of interest and use that can increase your productivity and personal
satisfaction during your work hours and beyond. The following are just
a few of the available resources and sites. No promises that these will
enhance your life specifically, but they may be worth a look.
*TIP*
Share your favorite web sites with friends and coworkers, and ask them
what sites they like to use. This way, you'll increase your personal
library of useful web sites. |
