Job Search

We have various ways for you to start looking for a job

• You can use the PA CareerLink website that is provided by the PA Department of Labor and Industry. This site allows you to put your resume online to find certain types of jobs that you specify and to search for job postings that employers have put online.
  
  
• You can fine tune your resume and your interviewing skills by taking free workshops at the PA CareerLink. Applications and Interviewing is offered every Monday from 10 am-noon and Wednesday from 2-4 pm. Resume Workshop is offered every Tuesday from 1:30-3:30 pm and Friday from 10 am-noon.  Quick Resume Review is offered every Wednesday from 10:30 am-noon and Thursday from 2-3:30 pm.

• You can work with one of our counselors who will act as a job search coach, giving you pointers and encouragement as you look for a job.
  
  
• Finally, you can participate in our very effective Job Search Center. The process begins with a Career Planning Seminar which is offered on Tuesday from 10-11:30 am, Wednesday from 5-6:30 pm, and Thursday from 11 am-12:30 pm.  After entering the program, participants are trained in job search techniques for one full week (a 35 hour commitment).  At the end of the training, staff work with jobseekers to connect with employers by providing job leads, by reinforcing the job search techniques, by facilitating social media and in-person networking possibilities, and by opening access to training and other resources.  Click here for a downloadable flyer about the Job Search Center.
