Orange County One-Stop Center

One-​Stop Center which is located on Orangewood ave in Garden Grove. I found that they offer free workshops and job search services.
All of the staff is so helpful and professional. I recommend this one-​stop center to anyone who is looking for work.
I just attended a workshop on networking and the hidden job market. The Instructor was Jennifer Lee. She is great and I felted she had a real passion to help the people in the workshop. Hats-​off to Jennifer.
Great source to update your resume and network opportunities.

One-​Stop Source is located on the corner of Knott and Orangewood.
One-​Stop Source is part of the Employment Development Center, job center locations. They offer monthly workshops and job seeker services. For the business owner they provide a source for those in the area looking for employment.
Good source to update resume, and network opportunities.

Let me speak as an employer who has been trying to fill two openings now for over 6 months. I see the candidates —- you guys can all sling a sentence together, you look to be available for work, yet unless I email my One Stop Rep, I hear nothing from her. The day I email her, she sends me a resume — but not in line with the positions we are trying to fill.
When she came to see us —- 6 MONTHS+ AGO —- she kind of said, «Well, if you find someone who is a candidate, have them enroll with me.»
I guess that’s the only way One Stop will work for us.
So disappointed. We thought it would be great to find local people who might be on unemployment
As an employer, don’t count on One Stop to help you fill an opening.
We went to ZipRecruiters this week. We should have done this 6 months ago.

I have been taking some of the workshops here to orientate me for my new job of employment coordinator. I Imust say, this place is top noch. All of the staff that I have encountered have been so helpful and professional. I have been to other one-​stop centers and must say this one is the best. Proceed with a positive attitude and and you will benefit. I understand that once you have taken all the workshops, you can be assigned to a case manager. I recommend this one-​stop center to anyone who is looking for work.

wow, the free classes here can be a total hit or miss. now, I know the age range for unemployment folk is wide… I’m probably the youngest one there and the oldest is probably late 50s. so I know each class is filled with lots of generic information to please all age groups, but come on now…
Transferable skills class… we pick 30 characteristics we like about ourselves… feed it into a test online (quizilla much:?) and they spit out ideal jobs for you. really. come on, I had to get up at 8:30am to do this in person, couldn’t I have done this online? Someone’s getting paid to do this… and I’m having problems finding a job.
ok.I thought at least maybe this system was more complicated than I thought and it can open my eyes and enlighten me to new occupations that I could really thrive in… no.
I got like type writer clerk… some crap I didn’t even know what it was. a blaster… wtf is a blaster? the person teaching the class didn’t even know… i found out later it’s a person who blows up buildings… um… that’s the ideal job for me? how much anger do I have in me that I’m not realizing? wow, all this time I’ve been in marketing, when I should’ve been blowing the sh*t out of buildings! No wonder I’m not happy! *smacks forehead* this class was a complete waste of time and much fail.
I went to an interview techniques course which was much more informative. although the person teaching it was super annoying. apparently you should take some other course before entering this class, too bad they didn’t care when they rescheduled me for this class on this day to ask me if I took it… besides, it wasn’t like the entire presentation was incomprehensible because I didn’t go to said class beforehand. there was one thing I didn’t know of, it was PAR and they explained it in the class and I was golden. but almost every other sentence she was mentioning the other class… «if you’d had gone to so n so class before coming here» «you really should go to so n so class, it’s really important» well shit lady, I can’t freaking go this second now can i? so stop mentioning it. I WILL GO to that class, I got it, I got the message… hey do you think I should go to that class??! geez.
even the receptionist told me it really doesn’t matter what order i take the classes in, as I was signing up for them. rawr!
