When I moved to Ithaca, I did not know many people. While walking around the Commons, I saw an advertisement showcasing Tompkins Workforce NY Career Center. The advertisement said, "Walk-ins welcome". I thought what a good idea!
When I went to the career center, I encountered Vivian, the receptionist. I told her my story of being new in town. She went to the back to speak to a employment counselor. Vivian came back and said I will meet with Ramona.
I found Ramona amazing. She helped me by showing me resume samples, spoke to me about how to find jobs in the area, and she sent me jobs listings. Ramona made my life even better. Since she revamped my resume, I started getting job interviews! She gave pointers as to how to approach different businesses. Ramona sent me links on interview preps and connections that I can contact.
All of her helps resulted me in getting a job offer! Awesome!
Overall, I feel that Tompkins Workforce tends to be under rated. They offer a ton of resources. read more
