Came here for a typing test l. Walked in and overall the process was really easy. My only complaint is that there were two people having a casual conversation right next to me (if we out are arms out, they'd touch). It went on for well over 5 minutes. I wish that they would have been asked to step outside to have their conversations as it's pretty distracting. read more

This review is 6 months over due! I need to say a BIG thank you to all the folks at the Tri-Valley Career Center, especially Johnny, Maria, Mary Ann, Idelfia, and Alexandra. Had a major tax mess on my hands, 6 years of overdue tax filing. They were diligent and patient to help me wade through my mountain of paperwork and we were able to submit all the missing tax years! Again, I can't convey in words how thankful I am for all the help. So relieved I'm in good standing after failing to file for so long. Can't wait to use the wonderful service and staff again next tax season. Here's to hoping everyone stays well! See you all next year! read more

Even though it's never a good thing to have to frequent this place (technically), it's good to know just a well - furnished place exists in the East Bay to help people get employed!! I came by on a Tuesday night after work where they have late hours until 7pm! I was quickly greeted with a smile by a friendly older gentleman. He mentioned that they no longer have veterans reps here. It's awesome though that they have multiple computers out for everyone to use! You can even get an appointment set up to speak to someone 1 on 1 (which of course, I did). The full time staff are very friendly and open. It looks like I'll be around this way again soon~ read more

Tri-Valley Career Center - Outside! It doesn't look like there's anything there, but the entrance is barely visible! - Employment Agencies Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I'm so grateful and thankful to the staff and coordinator especially To Ms. Alexandra Gallegos . For 3 years now , she is the one helping us to work with filing my returns and today I was so surprised that when she saw me , she called me by my name. It was so surprising that she had remembered my name, knowing that we only meet every tax season. They're so accommodating and they ensure that we are satisfied with our returns. Thank you so very much . It's very unfortunate that we can't give them anything to show our appreciation to them. Really their heart is just to give their time to help. read more

Alexandria is a wonderful employee! My son called while I was in a meeting to get the information on a typing certificate for me. Within 45 minutes of me calling and making appointment I had left with my professionally completed certificate! She put me at ease from the moment I walked in the door! I haven't tested since high school and I'm 53 years young! Grandma pulled it off well! Go here! You'll be in good hands! Good luck with your careers everyone! read more

Jerry is still so is Noreen, 1st point of contact is her. Were in Pleasanton, now by the 680 n/b onramp. Good neutral location. Before they shared with CLCCD at chabot offices blended and didn't know what was off limits and restroom key was weird. Now, they have their office all to them. Christian is cool too. Free usage of printers and faxes and copies of you use them for resumes. read more

I found out through a friend that our local One-Stop Career Center also did taxes. I brought my taxes in. I was greeted by Alexandra Gallegos. She was not only professional but warm and friendly and made me feel comfortable in all that I needed done for me. When you go to a tax preparer office you go there in hopes of them doing the best they can for you for you. I feel that Alexandria Gallegos and staff did the best they could for me. I will not hesitate to go back in the future. read more

I highly recommend not to use their free tax services they provide. The "trained tax professionals" they claim they are using to do your taxes have little to no experience and have no information on the tax forms presented to them. Our tax person did not ask for my social security card (which I had brought ) then said we can't do your taxes because you don't have your card. I said you did not even ask for my card I have it right here. Once my over 2 hour simple return was finally done, they send you to another side of the center where they have someone double check the documents. This process took another hour and a half and they have NO system of keeping track of who is next to be seen. They claim there is a list they are going off of but the tax preparers kept coming up to the line of people asking " so who is next ?" There was limited seating and people were just grabbing whatever chairs were there. The woman who was helping check my taxes was extremely rude and said people are just impatient who use this service. I said well yea I because all in all it took around 4 hours to complete the entire process before we could leave. I absolutely do not recommend using their tax services , the Livermore library offers quicker free services with people who know what they are doing. read more

Made an appointment over the phone for taxes and was given a date. Came in expecting the worst. I was so nervous since it was a looooong time since I filed my taxes. It was a complete opposite. The folks here were more than helpful. They were able to help me file my taxes and was put at ease at the end of it all. I am truly greatly and thankful for all the help from the tax professionals here. Thank you! read more

I must have caught this place on a bad day given all the other reviews. I walked in wanting to ask a question on the training that is offered once you are on unemployment as it is a question on the unemployment form (you can't complete the form unless you answer so you need an answer if you want your unemployment monies). I'm pretty sure I knew the answer as I researched it online but I wanted confirmation as this determines whether you get money to help on the education or not. When I arrived at the desk, I greeted the receptionist at the desk and asked if I could as her about the training program that CA provides when you are on unemployment. She cut me off and said no. I have to attend the orientation and given I don't live in Alameda county, I had to go to the CA job training over in Concord which meant I had to call them to get in that training to find out my answer. That just bites as I wanted to ask how I should fill out the question on the unemployment form given this place is referenced in the unemployment book (DE2320) to go to for questions on training programs. Thank goodness the book also referenced the CTB fact sheet. The receptionist wasn't nice at all towards me. I knew the difference when she said I have to attend orientation so fill out the form then we'll talk. As I sat to fill-out the form, another person came in who she knew and boy did she greet him really nice. Fortunately, I didn't need this place as my former employer gave me an outplacement agency that already gave me the same type of classes. All I wanted from this place was confirmation on a program (Workforce Investment Act) if I could utilize it for further education or not. The "funny" was since I knew what the CTB fact sheet stated, I'd go with that as I want to file my unemployment form. The receptionist said she wanted to give me a number before I left as I got up to thank her to leave. I had no idea what she was doing with the bar code. Well of course I wouldn't as she had already forgot who I was (though I was sitting in front of her) as she pulled another woman's form and was referring to me as her. I think my experience matches the other one that didn't go so well when they wanted Veteran's help. Given this is mostly likely a government funded site, it's too bad that they can't just answer a question or say they can't and why as people like me want to complete their unemployment form the best they can so there are no issues. And yes, I could go to the EDD, but this place was referenced by the EDD for the CTB program. It would have been nice if any of the counselors there could have taken the 5 minutes to advise me how I should answer the question. There are a lot of great services I could see from their calendar that they provide so my best advice is take a deep breath and make sure you have the time to spend there and just know you'll have to return for one of their orientations. Orientation locations are based on what county you live in. Which meant for me, even though Dublin is mileage closer for me, I have to go to Concord (Port Chicago area) for my orientation then ask them to allow me to go to Dublin. I guess all I can say is I didn't approach them the right way as there's a process you have to do before they'd answer a question. read more

I had a friend that needed a typing test. When I called to ask about the test, they were very friendly and helpful. Later that day my friend scheduled an appointment and got the certification. My friend took two five minute tests and they used the best of those two. I believe it was $9. read more

So glad they still have places like these to help us, ether to look for employment or helping us with filing our taxes, amazing staff and very friendly and helpful, made an on line and telephone appointment, they always follow up and take care of our needs THANKS read more

It is a wonderful resource for people who are want to get a job. The stuff is very helpful and they have variety of services including free printing (I used it a lot to print my resume), interview preparation and MOST IMPORTANTLY assistance with getting training to become more marketable. I was working with Hannah and she was very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

This career center is an excellent resource for anyone looking to enter or re-enter the workforce. The staff is amazing. They are all friendly, and eager to help put you on the right track to work toward your career goal whatever it may be. The service is completely free and the resources available to you are extensive. I would highly recommend taking the numerous classes they offer, again all free! The networking opportunities are excellent as well, and the job club that Mike runs every Thursday is a very valuable resource. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! read more

Found out about this place from my brother. He informed me they can do income taxes for you at no cost. I made an appointment to have them do my taxes and am very happy they were able to do my taxes. They were friendly and knowledgeable and completed my taxes in a timely manner. I want to thank Barbara, Alexandra and Millie for helping and for they kind and friendly service. read more

I recently attended a workshop called Beating the ATS .This workshop helps improve the job hunt process with a practical job hunters guide to improving your chances in todays job search presented by Tri Valley Career Center's Sarah Holtzclaw. Attached is the note I sent thanking them and I thought I would share it for all to see ! Sarah, Thanks for teaching the Beating the ATS class this week. I have been using Jobscan for a while and thought I was up to speed on an ATS compliant resume. However after seeing the presentation and your tips I realized I was only half way there. I saw a posting that I wanted to apply for in San Fransisco the next day. I ran what I thought was an ATS compliant resume through Jobscan and it came back at 42% as my base and I would normally work it from there to get the match higher. This time I took the same resume and then applied your tips(it is now ugly!). My version wasn't left justified, I had a section with two offsetting paragraphs for skills, I had bullets and some lines) . When I ran the new post class version through Jobscan I now started at 61% due to the formatting changes! Ten minutes late with some minor word changes it was at 82% ! THANK YOU! I know the odds of job board application but at least now this is a chance that it may get looked at by a human being vs. knocked out by the algorithm. Feel free to share this example as you see fit! thanks Bob read more

Rude worker. I followed her instructions and messed up on on thing that hindered neither of us on a typing program and she was clearly just angered and just trying to keep a straight face. All I did was retake a typing wpm test because she was letting me retake it over for as much as I needed anyways, and didn't call her for one after it had ended, and she came over on the next one with a whole new attitude. I just didn't understand- I'm sorry I misunderstood, but what was with her reaction? Over an old school typing test? All I was reporting back was my wpm, and was being let to retake it by her until I got a good score, as the other times she had come over that's what she had told me... She just acted in the same rude manner as she said her few words to me as she printed my certificate. I watched the way she greeted and said goodbye to other guests, and it was different than both of how she now spoke to me and said goodbye. She just waved me off and had nothing more to say to me. Apparently I ruined her day, or she just flat out hates me over a word test. I don't know what to say. Good and easy service otherwise, but not too kind a person was there today. I feel backhanded by the woman at the desk's attitude! I did my best to be nice and do what I thought was clearly being told me as being fine. read more

Very helpful resource, whether you're unemployed or not, though the services have been dramatically altered, since the caronavirus.

The staff at Tri-Valley has just been really great helping me to update my Resume and prepare for job interviews. My "counselor" (I'm not sure her proper title - personally I like to call her my friend) Sharon is really helpful and has really taken an amazing interest in helping me to find the right position and employer which fits my personality and needs best! read more

I found Tri-Valley One stop when I went to the Alameda County Library for a resume review with Jerry. Thank goodness I kept that appointment!!! If I hadn't I would have never found out about One-Stop and the truly great services they offer. They offer a number of workshops that I found very useful - resume writing, tips on job search, interviewing, skills updating, challenges for older workers in the job market, and Job Club. Everyone there is extremely helpful. I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for this great group of people I likely would still be unemployed. Instead they gave me the swift kick in the pants that I needed to get off my behind and be serious about my job search. I now have the job that I'd been trying to get for over 5 years. Thank you Tri-Valley One Stop!! read more

The employees here are so friendly and helpful! They offer free typing certificates with an appointment. Definitely try them out.

Great Staff, who are very helpful. I love their Job Club it is the most rewarding group circle anyone can ever be a part off.

I have been meaning to send a shout out to TVOS for all the support, motivation, & education with regards to the job hunt. Mike, Sheila,Jerry & Christian truly commit to helping us along the way - thank you so much for helping me find work:) read more

I am extremely grateful to Hannah, Jerry, Norene and other people who work at this One-Stop Career Center in Pleasanton. Thank you so much for believing in me and giving me a chance! Because of you I was able to turn a job loss into a positive experience. In October 2013 I lost my entry-level job at Comcast and I decided that I needed a change. I did not want to get another job just to pay my bills. I wanted a job that would let me build my career. I went through training funded by One-Stop and landed my internship within 2 month upon completion. I have been working as an intern for 10 month. Today I got a job offer for double what I used to make at Comcast. This offer that's what I dreamt about when I first went to One-Stop a year ago. I wanted to have a career and One-Stop helped me make my dream come true. Once again thank you and you guys are making a huge difference! read more

The Tri-valley one stop career center (TVOS) is a hidden gem in the East Bay for anyone looking to rejoin the workforce, enhance their skills, or learn new skills for a new career. The staff are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and they offer many workshops and resources for workers trying to get a new job, or learn new skills for their existing job. I had the pleasure of meeting the entire staff and participating in several informative and helpful workshops, and every hour I spent there was productive and helpful to me and many others in getting back to work! I definitely recommend checking out TVOS. You should also know that all of the services and workshops offered at the TVOS are free, as this service is funded by the federal government. read more

This is a good place to stop by when you are unemployed. You have free use of computers and access to job listings. The classes and workshops are fairly basic, but you can also make some contacts with other people there. read more

I recently took advantage of the free resources at Tri-Valley One Stop Career Center and highly recommend their services to anyone who is job-hunting in the Tri-Valley area. The workshops I attended on resume writing, interviewing skills and networking were relevant and up-to-date and provided a good foundation for my job hunt. But most helpful for me was Job Club -- a weekly support group where local job-hunters meet with a facilitator from the center to problem solve and generally offer each other support. read more

I have been a displaced worker for just over a month, the process is intimidating for someone who has had constant employment since high school essentially! The staff at Tri-Valley One Stop has been instrumental in getting me on the right track. They are considerate and thorough. I recommend that you go to as many of the workshops as possible and especially Job Club. The most recent example of absolutely going above and beyond was with my first application that I submitted through Calopps and the One Stop Center...Mike -- solid, solid, professional effort!!! read more
