If you are a resident of the state of Connecticut and in search for a new job, one of the many popular websites you can lean on to give you a current listing of jobs is the Connecticut Department of Labor site.  It is a full service job resource center for people who need help with their unemployment benefits, individual job search, current workforce training information, and more.  There are so many benefits to the site that job seekers need to know how to navigate the site to take advantage of all of its uses.

The first step that should be learned is how to perform a simple job search.  On the site is a link to Connecticut’s Reemployment portal which allows candidates to search for jobs in their field.  It has a cool job search feature for military veterans which allows them to simply type in their military MOC (military occupation code) and the system will find civilian jobs that match that MOC.  This is a very useful tool for veterans because many of them don’t know which civilian jobs their military experience crosses over into.  This feature gives them lots of ideas of the kinds of jobs they are qualified for.

Another beneficial job help services displayed on the site is the Connecticut Job & Career Connection which will fine tune your job search by helping you find the right job field for you.  There are also lots of upcoming job fairs that every candidate should be interested in attending.  There is a link to the Connecticut Job Fairs site that lists all of the most important job fairs that are scheduled for your area.  If you are also interested in certain types of training please visit the Connecticut Education & Training Connection site.  You will get a good idea of the types of training opportunities you can get involved in to further your career.

There is a lot more the Department of Labor site offers particularly in the area of job seeker services which help give the public answers to their employment problems.  Take the time to review the site and visit it often to learn of new opportunities in your particular city.
