Finding Employment
The Illinois Department of Employment Security does not accept resumes submitted through e-mail. If you are interested in obtaining employment we offer a system called Illinois Skills Match that is set up to enable job seekers to place their skills and job interest online for matching and review by employers seeking employees. Illinois Skills Match can be found at http://www.illinoisskillsmatch.com/.

We also link to a system called JobCentral (the replacement for America's Job Bank) where job seekers can view different jobs available in their area and surrounding areas. This Web site can be found at http://devv2.jobcentral.com. If you have any questions you can contact your local Illinois Employment and Training Center.
