TFB, dialling 211 will directly connect you to the United Way in most cities. I know it works here in J'ville, cuz it was the first resource I tried when I lost my job. They are a good place to start, they gave me the information about the state's Work Force offices and website. In order to get unemployment here, you have to be registered with them. They have all sorts of different areas for Job seekers, like building resumes and cover letters, job postings, veteran's resources.....a one stop job place. I use the office here to print things, since my printer is kaput, and they are pretty much on the way to the interviews I've had. They open up fairly early in the am, and there's no time limit (that I'm aware of, anyway) on computer usage, as long as you're using it for employment purposes. They also have binders of positions not listed on the website wil application information. The 211 line is a 24/7 line, so you can call and get someone anytime. They were a life saver for me......I knew that contributing to them thru my workplace would help folks, I just never thought it'd be me!
