Job Fair 2                  
Maywood Employment Office Remains Open,  Relocating to New Office within Maywood Soon!

 

MAYWOOD -  On Thursday, September 26, 2013, the Director of the Illinois Department of Employment Services Jay Rowell announced at State Representative Chris Welch's office that the Maywood Illinois workNet job center is NOT closing; it's moving.  Details about the job center relocation are forthcoming.  However, the Illinois' workNet job center will remain at its current 19th Avenue location until further notice.

 

Beginning Monday, October 7, 2013, unemployment insurance services will only be available online at www.ides.illinois.gov or by phone (800) 244-5631.  However, employment services provided by IDES and the services provided by the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership through E&ES will continue from the Maywood location.  Additionally, computer access will remain available.

 

Job seekers can continue to receive assistance with interview skills and resume writing. Veterans can obtain assistance transitioning into the civilian workforce.  Employers can access no-cost HR recruitment assistance.

 

For those looking for employment, please visit IDES online at Illinoisjoblink.com to look for work.  There are currently over 120,000 job opportunities.  Record your work search because it can help you remain eligible for unemployment insurance benefits.

 

For further information, please contact Rep. Welch's constituent service office at (708) 450-1000 or Greg at IDES at (312) 793-9635.
