"I finally got an offer and there are so many things I have to thank you for. It turns out that I was competing with 5-6 very qualified people. I do not think I could have made it through to the finish without your very professional help; you not only helped me drastically improve my resume, but in the process, you made me focus and articulate the skills that I have that are of value to the company. This may sound simple, but it is not at all simple."
- Grateful Job Seeker

Bergen County's unemployment (and underemployment) problem has reached historic levels. Calls to 2-1-1 (or clicks to NJ211.org), the United Way's free 24/7 helpline have increased dramatically. Our Back to Work program has put 124 long-term unemployed back into the job market. If you are unemployed, working fewer hours and/or receiving less pay than in the past, unfortunately you are not alone.

Job search support is available to you in numerous ways:

• Email a resume and receive feedback for improvement.
• Request a copy of career advice papers and articles.
• Email a coach with a specific job search question.

If you would benefit from any of the above-listed services, please email Christine Incontro at cincontro@bergenunitedway.org with a brief description of the request. Please attach a copy of your resume if you have one.
