FAQ
-
Do I need an
appointment to use WorkNet?
No! WorkNet is open to the public during regular agency
hours. First time visitors are asked to complete a First
Time Visitor Registration form and then they are given a
tour of the resources. If visitors feel they need additional
assistance, they may make an appointment with one of our
friendly, knowledgeable staff members.
-
Is there a fee
for WorkNet services?
No! There are no fees for job seeker or business services
through WorkNet. There are, however, limitations on the
number of paper copies permitted in one business day.
-
Are there any
eligibility requirements for using WorkNet?
No! WorkNet welcomes all job seekers regardless of income,
employment, and residential status. Customers wishing to use
WorkNet do not have to be on any type of public assistance
nor reside in Fairfield County.
-
What should I
bring with me to WorkNet?
Because WorkNet often has employers onsite conducting open
interviews and accepts applications and resumes for many
local employers, we encourage our job seeking customers to
bring copies of their resume.
If you do not have a resume, bring information related to
your work and education experiences and our staff can show
you how to create a professional resume during your visit.
-
I am not
comfortable using a computer, can I still use WorkNet?
Yes! WorkNet has a variety of resources for people with all
levels of computer skills. Besides using a computer, you can
find job leads through our job listings printed in books,
newspapers, and a bulletin board. Our friendly,
knowledgeable staff can assist you if you would like to try
using the computer. We also offer an Introduction to
Computer Basics workshop one time per month.
-
Can someone
help me create a resume?
Yes! WorkNet has many valuable resources to help job seekers
create a professional resume suited to their line of work.
Customers wishing to create a resume may first look through
the many examples available through books, newspapers, and
videos. Secondly, WorkNet offers a Resume Worksheet
customers can complete to insure they have all of the
necessary information. After your worksheet is complete, one
of our staff members can show you how to operate the
ResumeMaker® Professional 12.0 software. The ResumeMaker®
Professional 12.0 software allows users to input their
information by filling in blanks and then helps users format
their resume according to their preferences.
WorkNet’s friendly and knowledgeable staff is available to
review your resume and help you make any necessary changes.
