Searching for a job can be a daunting task, especially if you’re experiencing any barriers to employment. With so many different job search sites, resume styles and online applications where do you begin? We’ve put together a list of handy resources that can help you find your next dream job!

Kristen Williams, our Regional Director of Youth and Rehabilitation Programs, recommends starting out with a professional email and updated resume. Click the video below for more resume-building tips.

Once you’ve got your resume ready, we recommend watching this step-by-step guide by Indeed on applying to jobs through their site.

And, Indeed and Goodwill have partnered to help job seekers who are overlooked or face challenges to finding work. Some tools available for Goodwill clients include:

  • Skills-based Assessments: Indeed and Goodwill will pilot ways to use Indeed’s online Assessments tool to help job seekers better demonstrate their skills to find the right job.
  • Employer Hiring Events: Indeed and Goodwill partner with employers who have immediate hiring needs to host hiring events at Goodwill locations using Indeed’s event management tools, providing opportunity for on-the-spot job offers
  • Job Seeker Support: Goodwill job seekers will receive tailored resources to help them navigate online job search. Initial pilots include an Indeed portal designed for Goodwill and training on how to build an online resume and job search on Indeed.
