What you get with us

More than a referral.
A team and the tools to get hired.

01

Your own job coach

From day one you are assigned a job coach who knows the Jacksonville job market. They help you set a goal, find openings that fit, prepare for interviews, and stay with you through your first weeks on the job.

Our coaches have placed thousands of clients in Jacksonville, FL.

02

A state-of-the-art job-search office

Need a computer, a quiet place to work, or a second set of eyes? Come in. Our office has modern workstations and staff on hand to help you search, apply, and follow up—in addition to the coach assigned to you.

Staff are there to help, not just to point you to a screen.

03

An AI job board built for you

Our job board uses AI to customize your resume for each job you apply for, so you match what the employer is looking for. It also helps you complete applications step by step, so you spend your time on the right openings instead of fighting with forms.

A tailored resume for every application—without starting from scratch.

A bright job-search resource room with computer workstations where staff help job seekers.

Come in and get to work

A place to search, with people who help.

Most of the job search happens between meetings. That is why our office is open to you as a client: use the workstations, print what you need, get help uploading a resume or finishing an application, and talk through a job offer with someone who has seen hundreds of them.

Your job coach and our office staff work as one team, so you are never waiting on a single person to move forward.
