Job Search Enrollment

Those seeking services create the first step in Employment Essentials in the PA CareerLink® Montgomery County system.
  
Users are able to create a detailed resume, upload additional resumes, search and apply for jobs on the Commonwealth's operating system, PA CareerLink® online. To visit PA CareerLink® online, go to www.pacareerlink.pa.gov. Enrollment has the extra benefit of employers and staff having access to your profile to match potential employment opportunities.

Job Search

An individual can look for opportunities, staff can run a “match” to find job seekers to fill positions, and employers can review resumes electronically to find candidates.

Search for available employment opportunities with staff assistance or self-service at PA CareerLink® online. To visit PA CareerLink® online, go to www.pacareerlink.pa.gov. 
  

Career Counseling 

Career Counseling is offered through one-to-one consultation to assess needs, identify barriers, and create a plan for job readiness.

An individual who is unsure of their next steps can be counseled to take a “CareerScope” that would help indicate employment opportunities to meet their profile.

Training Opportunities

Funding through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act provides training opportunities to enhance skills that allow candidates to compete in today’s ever-changing job market.

Individuals who have worked in a position for a number of years might not be familiar with new software and technology. Training will enhance one’s established skills and marketability. 
 

Job Readiness Workshops 

Workshops help fine-tune resumes, develop interviewing skills, and create strategies for job searches. Workshops also teach candidates how to “brand” oneself, and offer instruction on how to use social media for effective networking.
