Job Search Assistance/Resources
Job Search Assistance for Young Adults between the ages 16-24
In order to compete against other job applicants, you need to have a strong résumé, good interviewing skills and a solid understanding of what employers are looking for in a candidate.
The Future U Program offers individually scheduled one-on-one meetings with a Future U Workforce Specialist. These meetings are to assist young adult customers with any job-related assistance that they may need, such as help with job searching, skill development, job fair preparation, résumé writing, interview skills, and job retention. Read more about the WIOA Young Adult Program enrollment process.
Where do I look for jobs?
Everyone has job search sites they like and everyone has job search sites they hate. You can really use whatever site you are comfortable with. Here are some suggestions:
- andrewhudsonsjoblist.com
- careerbuilder.com
- connectingcolorado.com
- idealist.org
- denver.jobing.com
- Indeed.com
Remember the power of networking! Most jobs are obtained through personal connections. Be sure to talk with employed friends about possible openings in their companies. Keep your ears open for opportunities in all areas.
