Job Search Services

People have different job search needs. Some are very independent in their job search and others may need placement assistance. DVR staff provide job search support based on your level of need. The goal is to help you become as independent as possible in your job search. To develop those skills, you need to learn methods and techniques for an effective job search.

Job Search Support Services include:

  • Developing a Job Search Plan
  • Completing Applications
  • Developing a Resume
  • Learning and Practicing Interview Skills
  • Addressing Reasonable Accommodation Needs
  • Developing Employer Contacts and Job Leads

There may also be Resource Centers and Job Clubs in your area -- check with your DVR counselor.

Job Follow-Up:

DVR keeps your case open for at least 90 days after you go to work. Follow-up services support you and your employer as you learn your new job. Follow-up services may include:

  • Any DVR service needed to help you maintain your job.
  • Working with you and the employer to address special needs or solve problems.
  • A review of equipment or devices that may help you perform your job.
