Job Connect

FAQ

About JobConnect
	If I come to the Job Connect office, will you give me a job?
	No, we will help you find and keep a job. We don’t hand out jobs at the front desk - we wish we could - but that wouldn’t help you in the long term anyway. We operate on the principle: Hand a person a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a person to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
	I want to go back to school. Can you help?
	Yes we can. Our resource room has College and University calendars, and Internet access to many other schools both public and private. You can call for free on our phone for further information, even if the call is long distance.
	I'm an adult. Can I come to Job Connect?
	You bet! First, the Resource Centre is available for you anytime. If you need one on one assistance, the Community Career Centre is located in the Job Connect office. Karol, Tom or Deb can work with you to create a dynamite resume or get you started on your job search.
	I can't use a computer! Will you type my resume for me?
	The Resource Room doesn't have a resume typing service. If you aren't comfortable with computers, you should make an appointment to meet with an Employment Consultant, who will assist you in building a resume. Our program is designed to serve Ontarians who are out of work and school, and NOT on EI or WSIB. If you are on Employment Insurance, contact the Employment Centre at 22 Bay Street for help. If you are on WSIB, contact the WSIB office at 153 Northern Avenue.
	I’m working right now but I'm not happy. Can I use Job Connect for help?
	If you are working part time it helps because you have time to search for a new job while you are still working. It’s harder to look for work when you are full time, but our resource room is always available for you to update your resume and apply for work.
