Once You Are Certified
If you’re ready to look for work, check the Job Bank for openings. You can locate jobs in your area by typing in your city or zip code in the “Locations” tab, which can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the web page. At that time, if you see job openings of interest, you should send an email message indicating your interest in applying for each position you see. Look for a contact name and email address for each potential employer toward the bottom of each description of the job openings.
Don’t forget to remind businesses that they can qualify for a tax credit if they hire you! Businesses must certify your employment to receive the credit
