Finding a job can be one of the most stressful and difficult things a person can do. Some of us have very diverse training and have worked in everything from making copper lugs to working retail while others have specialized skills in one area. Both of these situations can present problems when entering the job market. For those that are having some difficulties finding a job or choosing the right career for them in the Glendale area there is help being offered at Verdugo Jobs Center. Whether you need help tweaking your resume or would like to find out about applying for unemployment benefits to tide you over until you find a job this is the place for you.
When you're sending in your application and attending an interview for a job you always want to make sure you're showing off the best version of yourself. The people at the Verdugo Jobs Center can help you with both resume and interview tips and classes. There are different styles of resumes that can suit various levels of work experience. If you are applying to work in the field of environmental science and have more education experience than time working in the field you might choose a format that makes your schooling the prominent feature. If instead you have worked in everything from excavation to waste water grit removal you would want your work experience at the forefront.
Youth services are also a large part of the operations at VJC. They work closely with the Glendale Youth Alliance to offer college and career prep, scholarships, and job opportunities for the area's residents between the ages of fourteen and twenty-four. There are currently six different initiatives providing mentored employment to those who would like to be trained working with anything from food to a lead ballast and this center has helped as many as five thousand people to find part-time or fulltime work.
If you are between jobs and need a little bit of extra financial help to pay your bills while you're looking for a new position than you should probably look into applying for unemployment benefits. This service might also help you if you're working limited hours doing something like making custom license plate frames and need help until you find a more permanent job location. Two of the phones in the VJC office bring you right to the UI claim center and there is staff available that can help you complete all of the necessary forms before making the call.
No matter if your training is in printing Toronto based or working in retail here in Glendale there is a right career out there for you. The VJC can help you get the training you need and find the perfect job posting.
