Terrible service. Waited hours to not get a chance to talk on the UC phone. The whole time there no one got called that was before us. Always 6 people ahead in line but nowhere to be found. Pointless
The staff is very friendly and very helpful and try their best to get everyone what they need they could use more UC direct line phones I don't know whose decision it was but it is so difficult to get through but career links is definitely an asset to the community
It's a great resource to have when it comes to looking for a job!
It's awesome and cool and everyone is very very nice and polite to others so I recommend them if u need a job or anything
Long wait and didn't even to use the unemployment phones
People were thoughtful, caring job search professionals.
Only place to get In touch with Unemployment Office
First time visiting this morning because every time I call I get no answer. Even left messages with no reply. Google and the front door said they open at 8:30. I got to the door at 8:45 and a lady walks up to the door with an annoyed look on her face and points at a small sign that's says they open at 9 on Fridays. I'm like oh. She mouths yea rudely and walks away. Ok. I go back to my vehicle. When I finally get in, she talks to a few people. Finally asks me why I'm there I say I'm there to see a career counselor and she looks at me me puzzled like what do you mean. I'm like "I need a job!" Like isn't this career links? She then says I should do an orientation on Monday or Thursday. She says I can do a job search there. I'm like well can't I just do that at home? She says yes, gives me online directions and I leave. Huge waste of my time and a crummy start to my day. People looking for jobs are already not in the best space. If you are going to work with the public have some common decency.
I didn't realize I hadn't posted a review before. I have been in my current full time position for about 18 months, and CareerLink on Ardmore Blvd was instrumental in my securing the job. Following a layoff, I visited CareerLink to see if they had any new information that might help in my job search. At the time, they had 8-10 classes that were free to anyone looking for a job, and they were very helpful. My resume had performed pretty well for me, but as I began to hear about "age-ism" and negative talk about the job market, I knew my resume needed a new look. It surely got it. With CL's instruction, my "functional resume" format garnered about 3 times more calls and interviews. Additional classes about online job searches, drafting compelling cover letters and interviewing were invaluable. Go in there with an open mind and positive attitude, and you will see results!
