How long does it take for LINK to find me a job?

LINK is another avenue for your job search. We do not look for jobs specifically for each of our applicants. We strongly suggest that you still apply and interview for jobs on your own. If you are successful in finding employment on your own please let us know so we may take you off our list of active applicants. If at any time in the future you continue your job search please call and we will put your back on our active applicant list.

Why do I need a resume?

A resume is a vital “sales tool.” It allows potential employers to get an idea of your work history and skills that you would bring to a potential job. Without a resume employers have a harder time discerning you from the rest of the available job applicants. A resume makes you stand out from the rest. It shows your skill set and presents your work history. See our Resources section for available resources on Resumes.

Will you take any fees out of my paycheck?

No. We do not charge our applicants or employees for our services. We are able to do this because we are employer retained. Meaning the companies that we work with have signed a contract and agree to pay a fee for our staffing services.
