One-stop job centers offer free services

January 12, 2009

Hello!
I don`t think that there are some people who will be indifferent to this note because of the current situation. It is not a secret that the situation outdoors is very difficult for people, many of them lost their jobs, many lost their own business. How to behave in this case? That is the question for many of us. And that is good that there are people who can really help you.

California’s unemployment rate has more than doubled in two years, rising from 5.5 percent to more than 11 percent. People who have recently lost their jobs often don’t know where to begin looking for another one.

For job seekers, there are many centers in Southern California that offer advice, workshops and free use of fax machines and computers.
Goodwill Industries in Los Angeles is one of the best places for people to begin their search for work. It is one of many one-stop job centers in Southern California.
“We assist individuals who are looking for employment or training. We provide the resources here for them to search for employment,” said Anna Zakarian, Goodwill Job Center.
Resources include computers with Internet access, fax machines, copiers, telephones and even a variety of clothes a job seeker can have to wear to a job interview. The best part is that it is all free.
A one-stop job center can make a big difference. There are over 50 in Southern California. Along with clothing and Internet access, many of them offer classes in everything from language skills, to interview skills and resume writing, to finding a job by computer.
