State launches online job-search services

The state of Kansas launched a new registration process that automatically registers Unemployment Insurance applicants for job-search services available at kansascommerce.com, the state’s official labor exchange job posting site.

Through the new process, Kansans who apply for unemployment benefits online or by phone will automatically be issued a username and password for a personal account, where they can search job openings, post an online résumé, save job searches and receive e-mail updates.

For information on automatic registration, or to apply for unemployment benefits, visit www.dol.ks.gov; and for job and career services in Kansas, visit kansascommerce.com.
