Client Review on CareerSource North Central Florida

Feedback:

Apart from being a façade for Employ Florida (which is a pretty good job site), CareerSource NCFL is entirely redundant and hopelessly inept. Because the front desk neither answers the phone nor responds to email inquiries, a walk-in is mandatory. When you do walk in, the staff are reluctant to talk to you. Whenever I request job assistance, nine times out of ten I am told that "the computers are over there". When I ask what services CareerSource offers, I am given a few straggly scraps of paper with Job IDs on them that I could have found myself using Employ Florida. Never have I been offered to speak to someone one-on-one (which, even if I had, I don't feel I would have had any luck, considering what others have said here).The last straw was a job fair that I had showed up for. I was told that the employers that I was interested in are not there in person and instead I must speak to them via video conference. The fact that the interaction was virtual did not bother me. It was simply not made clear in the advertisement sent to me a week earlier, which had the companies listed ambiguously as "virtual employers". I had already tried to call three times throughout the week for clarification, but could not reach a desk agent. Even worse is that the computers which I was [inevitably] directed to use were not equipped to use in a virtual conference, i.e. no audio devices, microphones, or webcams. So, I had to go home and join the conference. Worse still, my request to enter the conference was never approved (see screenshot). So, I eventually had reach out to those employers personally.Save yourself precious job hunting time and AVOID.
