Jobconnect – Nevada

This is an extremely racist office. Almost everyone working here has a name like Hernandez, Rameriez, Martinez. I asked a worker why, he stated the managers name is Garcia and he perfers it that way. There were a couple black people working there, no white people. Talk about reverse racisism. By the way, they have moved their office to Sunset Road. Very nice office.

I came out of this place very upset. I waited 2 hours for my number to be called, when my number finally gets called a lady by the name of Juanita takes me to her desk. She was very rude and had an attitude. She basically gave me 2 refferals when their suppose to give you 3 and the refferals were for me to go online and to go to the actual job. She seemed like she didn’t want to help or didn’t even want to be there. Now I know to call and make an appt with somebody else.

I was pleasantly surprised from the get go. I expected to walk into a building full of people; with no seating and a staff of rightfully stressed employees. What I received was the complete opposite and that is exactly what I needed. My appointment was with Veronica Verdejo and if I were to write 50 paragraphs about how incredible she was that wouldnt be nearly enough. Being out of work for 1 month now I arrived beaten down, stressed to the max and lacking confidence. The advice, tools and renewed sense of purpose she provided me allowed me to walk out feeling like there was hope & the hours upon hours I have spent seeking employment werent all for naught. They have a free career center & job placement assistance. I was in and out of the office within an hour. I dont write a lot of reviews, but I truly believe this is a case of giving credit where credit is due. Veronica clearly cares about what she does and she cares about the people she does it for. I am incredibly lucky that she was assigned to my case.

If you ever come across people doing this kind of work, thank them.
I came to Nevada JobConnect the day after I was laid off. All I needed was a phone to make a call to set up my unemployment insurance. They have several and they let you stay until you finally get through to someone. In a situation where you know everyone in that room is stressed out, the people are courteous and really sometimes all it takes is a smiling face to make you feel like everything will be alright.
Beyond simple resources like phones, you can also meet one-​on-​one with people who can set you up with job training and other resources that will make you more appealing to employers. Gotta hand it to these folks. The Las Vegas area is among the hardest hit places in all the countries during this recession. They have their hands full.
