The following resources are listed in the order they might logically occur. Start with the ones that best meet your needs. They are not meant to stand alone.
Cope With Change - The one thing that remains constant is change, and change of any type may be difficult. Whether positive or negative, change may result in both emotional and financial stress. It may also influence relationships with co-workers, family, and friends. While you can't always control change, you can control how you deal with it. To handle change successfully, it is important to take measures to reduce stress and anxiety.
Get Started - The importance of a positive attitude, what behaviors keep job seekers from being hired, and what employers expect from job applicants are three things to consider when starting a job search.
BulletRemaining Positive, Chapter 1
BulletWhy Some People Remain Unemployed, Chapter 2
BulletEmployer Expectations, Chapter 3
Organize Your Skills - Skills are the foundation for securing a job within a career field. Learn to define and present skills, abilities, interests, and achievements to potential employers. Once skills are identified, appropriate job search goals can be set.
BulletSkills Identification, Chapter 4
BulletEstablishing Goals, Chapter 5
Know the Job Market - Prepared job seekers know the needs and trends of the job market. Knowledge of general and detailed labor market information including wages, occupational and industry trends, market conditions, and economic info contribute to a successful job search.
Learn About Education & Training - After identifying personal interests, abilities, skills, and exploring the labor market, additional education or training may be needed to reach career goals. Find out about education and training programs in Georgia, and sources of financial assistance.

Although the GDOL does not directly operate training programs, it works closely with partners who offer short- and long-term occupational training and education programs. Career Advisors can provide information about education and training resources that can help customers meet their employment goals.
Develop a Marketing Package - A job seeker’s marketing package includes an application that is completed effortlessly, a résumé that highlights accomplishments and matches skills and goals to the needs of the employer, and a personal business card for flexibility and convenience. These marketing “tools” are essential for a successful job search.

Tap Into the Hidden Job Market - The majority of job openings are not advertised. Employers choose to use other methods including hiring someone referred to them from a trusted individual. Successful job seekers can tap into the "hidden job market" using such job search strategies as networking, informational interviews, direct employer contacts, employment services and use of the Internet.
BulletNetworking, Chapter 9
BulletTelephone Contacts, Chapter 10
Talk the Talk: The Interview is a sales meeting and a job seeker is both the salesperson and the product. What is said may determine whether or not an employment offer is made. Preparation is necessary to be the most outstanding candidate and the best person to hire.
BulletJob Interviews, Chapter 11
Keep Your Job - Specific skills are necessary to be successful at a job. First impressions show from day one. Practice job success skills prior to starting the job because there is only one chance to make a first impression.
BulletKeeping Your Job, Chapter 12
Find a Job - Use Georgia’s Job Information System (JIS) to search for job openings listed directly with the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL).
Learn About Unemployment Benefits for Individuals - Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits is temporary income for workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own and who are either looking for another job, have definite recall to their jobs within 6 weeks of the last day worked, or are in approved training.

The funding for unemployment insurance benefits comes from taxes paid by employers. Workers do not pay any costs. Eligibility for benefits is determined based on past wages, reason for job separation, and availability and job search requirements.
