When you visit one of our Career Resource Centers, you can ask a staff member in the Resource Room to help you track down job leads.  There's a wealth of information on the computer and in the Career Resource Library.  However, don't forget about the two most obvious ways to learn about potential job openings:

Networking

The most effective method to find a job is by word of mouth.  Every person you know - your friends, neighbors, former employers and coworkers, even your mail carrier - can be a job source.  People are generally more than happy to help you find work if they know you are looking for work.  At the Illinois workNet Centers Job Club sessions, you can learn more about effective networking techniques.

Newspapers

Check the classified section of your Sunday newspaper.  Although only 15% of jobs are advertised this way, it is still important to look at the want ads.  In each center you may find copies of the local newspapers.  Below are links to the help wanted sections of local and regional newspapers.
