Can Goodwill Help Me Find a Job?

Every 56 seconds of each workday, Goodwill places someone in a good job.

Local Goodwill career professionals regularly contact local employers to learn about jobs that are available, and then they connect job seekers with these employment opportunities.

Goodwill provides job seekers with resources that help them conduct job searches, write resumes and practice their interviewing skills.

Local Goodwills also help people earn a paycheck while they’re getting ready for permanent jobs by placing them in temporary jobs or in jobs at Goodwill. Many job seekers find work in Goodwill retail stores, or at one of their many business or government contract work sites.

After placing someone in a job, the local Goodwill may follow up on a regular basis to find out if they are continuing to do well on the job, or if they need more training, on-site job coaching or additional services.

To find out more about the training opportunities and job placement services provided by your local Goodwill, visit the Goodwill Locator.
