Here’s How to Find the Best Job Leads in Chicago

Finding the perfect job requires much effort, but there are resources available to make it simpler. If you’ve been relying on online job boards like Indeed, Monster, and Glassdoor to find current openings, it probably didn’t take long to notice that something is missing. Something really important.

That is, these sites don’t offer personalized guidance, local resources, or create relationships with local employers on your behalf. At least, not for free they don’t.

At an E&ES American Job Center (AJC) you can receive job support services at no cost to you. Services like career coaching, job search assistance, and job placement assistance. Our AJCs have exclusive job listings that aren’t posted online because we focus on building relationships with local employers. We work closely with local governments, social services, community agencies, and businesses to host job fairs and hiring events.

Here, you can work with a Career Coach to update your resume, practice interviewing for a job, and get connected with local employers. You can even use an E&ES computer center to research jobs and find local resources like nonprofit agencies and social services to help with other aspects of your personal and professional growth.

We invite you to stop by our locations throughout Chicago to print, copy, or fax documents. The American Job Center’s resources can help you find a great job quickly. Career Coaches are workforce professionals who have done this for a long time.

Let’s talk more about what it means to work with a Career Coach.

The benefits of working with a Career Coach

A Career Coach is a professional who knows the local job market. They can provide career advice to help you find your perfect job.

At E&ES, our Career Coaches have backgrounds in Human Services, Workforce Development, Higher Education, and Business. Working one-on-one with a Career Coach means working with someone who is invested in your professional growth and has the tools and resources to help you succeed.

Your Career Coach will provide more than advice. They will encourage accountability so that you stay focused and motivated during your job search. They will help you identify areas for further development.

Moreover, they will connect you with local employers who are hiring and offering on-the-job training.

E&ES Career Coaches often have access to exclusive job leads that are not available publicly. This is because many employers we work with have graduated from our programs and become managers or owners of their own businesses. We work with those who value the power and opportunity of a starter job!

Working with a Career Coach is the best way to jumpstart your career. They can offer knowledgeable advice tailored for you but also connect you with resources and contacts that could lead to better job opportunities.

Get the best job leads from a Career Coach

E&ES American Job Centers are located throughout Chicagoland. Services are available in person and virtually. When you work with a Career Coach, you’ll get access to the best on-the-job training jobs before anyone else.

We hope that by now you see that the right starter job can jumpstart your career, no matter what stage you’re at. And working with your very own Career Coach can help you unlock that potential.
