I was laid off 3 years ago after 18 years of service. In order to collect unemployment you must sign with M.W. I collected 2 checks and knew I had to find a job QUICK. I went in and used the computers and weekly job listings. They offer job fairs, computer classes and testing for LCC. I didnt do that, because I needed a job asap. Within 2 weeks I had a full-time job, i also had interviews with 3 other companies all within 2-3 weeks. If you want the work, you have to put in the work. It's not given to you. As far as entry level, low paying jobs goes, Lansing businesses are not competitive at all. I have 22 years experience and NO one wants to pay 1/2 of my worth. This is not Michigan Works fault. You get what you put in. If you want a place that finds you work, go to a temp agency. The work is out there, I know, I've been there.
