No computer or online access?

Your local One-Stop Center can help you get your resume and application information on a portable jump drive and show you how to use it. Many companies provide a computer for applicants to apply onsite. When you visit a potential employer, dress as though you were going to an interview. Confidently insert your jump drive and apply online. Make a point to thank anyone who helps you in the process. You never know how helpful that connection could be.
