Walk-in Job Search Support
Do you have questions about available resources or preparing for your job search? Walk-in hours are available for you to meet with a Workforce Team Member to help you find the answers you are looking for. These sessions are flexible to cover what you need, including resume assistance, interview preparation and/or practice, job search guidance, and more.
Job Search Support walk-ins are offered in 30-minute sessions every half hour starting at 10:00 AM, Monday through Thursday, with the final session running from 1:30-2:00 PM.
Walk-in times are: 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, and 1:30.
Regular intervals make it easier to plan your visit and help ensure sessions begin on time, so you get the most from each interaction.
If your situation requires more than 30 minutes, staff will help identify next steps, such as scheduling a follow-up appointment or connecting you with additional resources that meet your needs.
Our goal is to provide timely, practical support and make it as easy as possible for you to get the help you need.
Please note: In the event of late openings, early closings, or other changes, walk-in hours may be adjusted. Check our Events Calendar or social media for updates on closures or schedule changes.
