The Employment Security Department has added new features to the WorkSource website to make it easier for employers and veterans to find each other.

Veterans and eligible spouses who post résumés on go2worksource.com can check the box that makes their military status visible to employers who want to hire veterans. We’ve posted an example to show how.

Employers who post job openings on go2worksource.biz can check a box indicating that they’ll give veterans a preference in their hiring (click to see how).

Use the search features on the site, veterans can look for jobs that give a veterans preference – and employers can search for veterans’ résumés.

For personal assistance, local WorkSource centers have veterans specialists and business representatives available to help.

(WorkSource is a statewide partnership of Employment Security and local workforce development agencies, and part of the nationwide American Job Centers network.)
