Are You Ready to Job Search



Are You Ready to Job Search?

A resume and interview skills are important parts of the job search process. Equally critical, however, is making sure that you are ready to take that job, should it be offered. Employers want people who are “employment ready” and that means job seekers who have identified and resolved any potential barriers to employment success.

Take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire below. If you answer “no” to one or more questions, the Tarrant County Workforce Centers can provide you with resources and information on how to resolve your challenges before you get that next job.

|1. |Do you have adequate housing and food? |YES |NO |

|2. |Do you have reliable transportation to get to and from work? |YES |NO |

|3. |Can you provide two forms of identification (for example, a valid driver’s license and a social |YES |NO |

|4. |If you need it, do you have adequate child care arrangements and a back-up plan for when your children |YES |NO |

| |may be ill or the daycare may be unavailable? | | |

|5. |Some jobs require you to work holidays, weekends, 2nd or 3rd shifts or rotating shifts. If you need it,|YES |NO |

| |do you have access to child care that would allow you to work these kinds of hours? | | |

|6. |Some employers require drug testing. Are you willing to submit to this kind of testing, including |YES |NO |

|7. |Have you ever been convicted (or have pending convictions) of a crime other than a traffic violation? |YES |NO |
