With so many New Yorkers looking for work, it may be difficult for them to say motivated. It is already hard to find employment and the competition is greater than ever for many positions. One of the most important things that a person seeking work needs at their disposal is resources. It’s good to know what is available to you if you are looking to find work.
The New York Department of Labor offers two websites dedicated to jobseekers. It is called the NY JobZone and CareerZone. Each website offers a number of services. They are a “one-stop online job search and career planning system.” They both provide a multitude of links and tools that will help prepare anyone for the labor market.
The JobZone site includes: A list of training providers, the ability to build a career portfolio, a safe way to make claims and file for unemployment insurance and also a list of tools assembled by the DOL and Workforce New York to help people find jobs. There is even a section of tools for businesses.
The CareerZone site includes: information on occupations from the national Occupational Information Network (O*NET) Database, career videos, job postings and a resume builder.
There is no telling the outcome of the labor market as we go throughout the year but the government wants to see more of its citizens employed. If you are looking for work, be sure to visit JobZone and CareerZone to maximize your potential.
