Don't just give them books or classes on resume prep - tell them to Google info on how to market themselves via social media....here's an interesting link and considering the article is not as updated, you know there's more out there now on how social media can help people market themselves - http://mashable.com/2009/01/05/job-search-secrets/

I found this article to be extremely informatative with suggestions I never would have thought about in today's world of job searching. It would seem that one does have to be very tech savvy as well as have the tools to use(phone,computer,etc. I actually forwarded the article to someone who is currently searching for a job!
